Stage 5, 120km.
Joe G was in the top 3 going into the final, decisive climb. Before the 10km beast started, there was a very steep and treacherous descent. Joe crashed at the bottom, and slid off the road, hitting a low, stone wall. His first response was to get on his bike and continue his plan of attacking the leader, since overall victory was still quite possible. His bike, however, was unrideable, and unfixable. He sustained some abrasions that were worthy of a trip to the hospital. He is doing fine, just wishing he could have shown his stuff on what was a great opportunity for him.
Peter Morse finished the tour 11th overall, Bruce Krip 14th, Dave Fry 34th, Chris Atkins 40th.
