Alan Coats Wins Masters 40-44

Alan (James) Coats of Campbell, Calif., didn't let a 12th row start get in the way of winning the Masters 40-44 race.

"I was here in 2000 when it was snow and ice and I swore then that I'd never be back," Coats said.

Troy Tucker turned heads by crossing the finish line with his bike on his shoulder. The Nashville, Tenn., rolled his front tire off the rim on the final trip up the stairs and had to run the final 600 meters.
