Larry Segeleon points out, correctly, that the Pittsburgh guys who ride in the rain have nothing on we bicycle race moto refs and marshals. The scene here is the moto pit prior to the 2007 US Open Bicycle Race. Yes, that's freezing rain on the trees. The weather was so bad, the TV helo couldn't take off. CRAB Steve Whetstone's bike is the yellow GS in the foreground. At least the bicycle riders had physical exertion to keep THEM warm.
The race was Williamsburg to Richmond, but they stayed in Richmond and transferred to W-burg that morning. During the ride from Richmond to W-burg, there were cars spun out on the interstate and into the median. Apparently the trip to W-burg on the motos was very interesting. They all made it just fine, thanks, because they're hard men and skilled. The race went on.
