Bow Road Race

Ah Bow. We were on the back side of the course, just before that last left hand turn where it climbs a short bit before descending, and the official screamed at us to get to safety. 50 or so riders took an immediate left into some guys driveway and into his garage that he left open. As stragglers caught up to us, we called them inside and just stayed out of the weather. It was the lightning more then anything that they were concerned with, because as soon as they could, they called game on. Or was it rain on? At that point, the skies totally opened up and it was raining so hard. When we made it to the bottom of the hill, through the four way intersection, they came up and said "Last Lap". Assuming this meant one more to go, I notified my teammates and made sure they knew what was going on. Through the start/finish line they said "That's it". Huh? The race was over at that point. They only placed the first seven guys in the field (four were off the front) to pay out. It pretty much sucked, but was the right thing to do.
