25 July 2009 - Alaska

What a day! We started our 90km ride this morning and as this race have progressed I’ve been feeling better and better all the way. Our group stayed together for the first 20km with a few early attacks easily covered by the group. We went down a hill and we were going around 60km/h when a sweeping wind grabbed us. I was able to control my bike but Mosandl was not so lucky and he lost control at took the worst tumble I’ve ever seen. As this was a race we kept on going but this event was over for him. He ended up going to hospital and getting 19 stitches to close up all the gashes on his arm. Incidentally a TV crew was right there on the bridge and they got it all. I’m sure the footage will surface on You-Tube pretty soon. With him out of it the team just stayed together trading the lead and keeping the tempo high. I was able to take the sprint with Chris coming in second and Krige 3rd.
