Back to the beginning of the day how bout! We woke up this morning and headed down to our free hotel breakfast, which consisted of sausages, eggs, cereal, fruit, waffles, yogurt and numerous cups of coffee. That got us to a good start. From there we made our way over to Trader Joe's which is our favourite cheapest grocery store around. Loaded up on some food, mainly lots of Hummus and Peanut butter! Can't live without those things.
We then got the bikes prepped, had to put our baby's back together, and boy did they look like some steeds all lined up together. Dan and Scott took on the driving duties on the freeway that took us to the course, the people down here are crazy. Its like why don't we drive like 150 Km/h and then drive 7 and a half inches apart, and I forgot weaving is there thing here. My driving capability should go up like 33% while I'm down here, so back home watch out! The course is pretty sweet, nice and dry and steep. It seems like all the climbing is on the first half of the lap, then its mostly flowly downhill with a few little pucnhers. We named the climbs the big bastard and the little bastard. The big bastard is right off the gun and lasts about 10-12 min until the reach the very top of the course, then its flowing down the back side and just before you get back into the start/finish area the little bastard just pops up and could decide your final finish position. Did a solid 3 laps today and helmet cammed one lap, thanks to Andrew L'Esperance. We can now sit back each some hummus and watch the laps tonight to memorize everything. Hopefully I will be able to find a good pee spot on the trailside...
Just sitting back in the hotel room relaxing right now, just about to have an ice bath for some recovery. Oh by the way it is smokin' hot out, it was shitty this morning with cloud cover and smog, but now its like dream weather. I hate to say for all "you people" back home in BC but its way nicer down here fo sho.
