Alex here, all good thanks to everyone who asked! Small infraction in my shoulder and wrist, many bruises but already out and riding! Hank was indeed great and kind of made my day, sharing the road until that point and helping me when I went down. See you at the next one mate

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPzh9ct-RJE&t=561">9:21</a> Thank you for taking time in this video to emphasize what is important in life—taking care of each other. This weekend, a competitive cyclist by the name of Jake Boykin in our local riding group was on a ride before heading to Six Gap in Georgia. Unfortunately, he was struck and killed by a drunk driver. While I didn’t know him well, I am saddened that on my next group ride, there will be one less kind soul riding with us. At Six Gap, I understand that his friend who were racing were allowed to check him in, that the race organizers held a memorial for him at the start of the race, and that his number was on an event car that rode the full route. Races come and go. Friendships and being kind and good to all is what matters.

The filming and editing during those two wood sections were inspiring. Love it.

Great race, seems like you had some proper fun. Camera shots were amazing, great movement, great editing. What you said back there... "Take care of your friends, races come and go" honestly made my day. 🙏 I just hope Alex recovers quickly. Cheers mate 🍻

Of course you stopped to help. There's nothing else to do under those circumstances! Can we get an update on Alex please!

There are very few events and race designed specifically with Hank in mind… This one was maximum Hank. Perfecto!

The got to take of your friends attitude speaks volumes about Hank’s character. He would be welcome to ride with me any day.

Can’t believe they wouldn’t allow you to retry the section after seeing someone crash. Most race orgs allow this as it promotes good sportsmanship and actually stopping for people.
