Schaye had his share of detours, roadblocks, and strategic missteps. Hours before the ride began, he slipped and fell, tearing all of the ligaments in his right hand. There was a scary moment when he thought it was broken (weeks after the ride, he would have hand surgery), but his determination remained steadfast. Once Schaye finally got his ailing hand into a glove and closed it enough to grip the handlebar, he was, as he put it, ""good to go."" Well, sort of. ""I was in excruciating pain. But I had to work through it."""
