Day 4

Mike went down today in the first 2km’s. He is okay. Let me say that again to dispel any panic, he is OK. He hit his head and has a minor concussion that will keep him in the hospital overnight tonight. He has a small bit of road rash on his back side and his left shoulder, but no other damage. He is going to re-join us tomorrow in Kaltern and then we will take things from there.

I don’t want to go into the details of the accident other than to say that I was right behind Mike when he went down and was able to stop and stay with him. I want to commend how helpful the other riders were that stopped to help keep him safe and place calls for help. It’s amazing how quickly a language barrier can disappear when someone is in need. I would also like to thank the amazing people from the ambulance services, doctors, Magic places (Joerg Becker & Tobias Spindler), and the organizing group involved as they treated an unfortunate accident like this with the utmost professionalism and care.
