I think its about time for something more positive on the blog aside from a stolen bike. A new bike has since moved into my home and will be coming along for the race in Penticton next week. The final weeks of training for this race have all gone well. I had to make some adjustments based on equipment limitations, but it seems to have all worked out after all.
IMC looks to have another great field this year which is always motivating for me. I'm sorry that Bryan Rhodes won't be able to defend because of his AT injury, but plenty of quality folks will still be there on race day.
I will post periodic updates as race week roles around and will also post a detailed race report after I finish IMC.
cheers,
