Rarely are great crashes recorded, this is an exception. Stage one of the 2009 TransRockies had an extremely challenging scree slope that most riders were walking. My good friend and photographer Dan Hudson was bragging about a crash sequence that he shot on that very slope and he thought is was one of the Fernie riders.
Well is was and here is Garret Sowchuk, chuking his body and bike down a steeeep scree slope. I have caught my shorts on the nose of the seat and ouch, can it be a rough tumble.
Garret did ride away and completed the seven day race. He had so much fun he’s riding again this year with Franck Gilmard, also a second timer.
