Fortunately , the harsh weather d idn't ma terialize. and the riders were rewarded with ideal course cond itions for the day . Misty conditions caused many riders to abandon their goggles b y midrace, bu t most riders agreed that was preferable to the dusty con ditions that might have otherwise prevailed.
