Dominik Scherer

Hello this is Dominik Scherer. Calling in from Breckenridge, CO at 10:30 pm on Friday, 27th of June. I think you all heard already from Alan that our day was pretty hard. Not like bike wise but otherwise. I just wanted to wish all the persons who are injured. I wanted to wish them all the best. That they get back to full health pretty soon. I wanted to let my people at home know that I'm doing fine. While I'm a little tired today but I'm doing fine. You people at home take care of yourselves. Mikala when you starting your tour tomorrow take care of yourself and come back home safely and healthy. I love you. Bye. (recorder time: 2008-06-27 23:29:57 EST)

Hi this is Alan. I'm in a hotel in Breckenridge. We are good. Tomorrow, we are starting fresh. No more adventures hopefully. Just riding south. We are good and good night. Bye. (recorder time: 2008-06-27 21:21:24 EST)

Hi this is Alan Goldsmith. I wanted you know that I am absolutely fine and Dominik is absolutely fine. We had to press the 911 on the Spots this afternoon because we were the first on the scene at car accident. We helped out with the rescue and the SPOT thing eventually got through to the emergency services so that was good. So that was good. It works. We are both fine. We are in Silverthorne. We are going to stop here and we'll call you later. Just get the message out to everyone on the internet that we are both absolutely 100% fine. We were not involved in any accident at all and we were just helping out with rescue. The SPOT did work but a bit slow. I think they actually got the signal from some woman I flagged down in the road who drove down the mountain to get cell phone coverage. So SPOT is quite good but not quick enough. In a real emergency, need to be faster. Talk to you later. Bye. (recorder time: 2008-06-27 16:47:21 EST)

Hello this is Dominik Scherer. I'm calling in on Friday, 27th of June, 8:30 AM. I am at Kremmling, CO. Still riding together with Alan Goldsmith, the mad Englishman. Well, last night we camped out near the Colorado River. Just had breakfast here in Kremmling. Now we are going go over UTE Pass to Silverthorne and then we'll see what we will do next. All you guys out there be safe, have a good trip. I got new shoes. I bought some new shoes yesterday in some Springs sort of town and they feel really, really good. That's about it. See you guys. Bye. (recorder time: 2008-06-27 09:31:34 EST) P.S. See pictures of Alan and Dominik posted by a race fan at http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?p=4609554#poststop

Hello this is Dominik Scherer calling in from Pinedale. It is 8 o'clock AM on the 23rd of June. Today, I'm still riding with Alan Goldsmith from England. We are trying to make out way to Atlantic City today. Head out into the Basin and see what the weather is like there. Hopefully no more snow, cause that sucks. This one goes out to my family: Fest of the Message in German (can't transcribe; trying to see if I can find someone to help.) (recorder time: 2008-06-23 09:04:24 EST.)

Good morning its Alan again. We are still in Lima. We are treating ourselves to an easy day. Had a bit of a lie until 7. Having a big breakfast. Now we are going to head off to the northern end of the rail trail and probably stop around a 100 miles. We been going a week. We think we deserve it. We been a lot further than we expected already. Thats me and Dominik. We were with Kevin most of the day yesterday. But he stayed at a different place. I don't know where he is. The Kevinator might be on this way.
