145 km, 3092 meters of climbing.
Canada Day. Howie and Philip looking sharp in their red + white Axel's Granfondo kits. The next time we'll all be on bike together is a week Sunday in Penticton for Axel's big ride.
2nd hardest stage today. Didn't feel great for a chunk of the ride. Back very sore. 6-days of compensating for the injury catching up.
Over 4,000 meters of descending resulted in some bad crashes today. At least one rider was helicoptered off the course. Everyone in our group safe and looking forward to the last stage tomorrow.
Haas sampling the competition's wares. These guys deserve it. Riding very strong. Currently TNA/Shape - 1 (Haas/Leblanc) sitting in 14th place in the Masters (combined age over 80) category.
Final shout outs to a few who helped along the way.
AP - coach, psychologist, training companion, first aid attendant.
KE - the ultimate Le Domestique.
Jer - delivering parts and clothing during the last minute crunch.
CG - providing the best recovery fruit + nut bar.
Put the prosecco on ice. Almost there.
