A veteran rider faces a race shortened for safety
Morgan is preparing for a coastal motorcycle race after organizers change the course due to weather.
“Morgan places the helmet on the table. “They've cut the cliff section. Half the riders say the race won't count without it.” The revised course is safer in the wind, but spectators and teams have spent months preparing for the original route. Morgan has been asked to speak for the riders at the briefing; the team manager wants a stronger protest than Morgan feels is justified. Morgan slides the weather report across to you. “What would you say to people who came for the old course?””
Morgan has raced for years and knows how much work goes into a competition. A previous weather delay taught Morgan that disappointment and good judgment can coexist.
