ALTURAS and WINTER HAVEN, Fla—For six years the two-day Chain of Like Cycling Classic bicycle races has received nothing but the best of Florida’s winter weather. Seven proved not to be a lucky number meteorologically.
Saturday started overcast and got worse, finally dumping hard rain driven by a cold wind on riders on the 15-mile road circuit in Alturas.
