September (BC Tour)

We spent the next few weeks in Whistler, enjoying some hot sunny weather. Start of September we were lucky to get free entry to do the Grand Fondo. A race from downtown Vancouver to Whistler, 122km. I managed to get my dad's carbon Davinci from Rossland to use, thanks to a couple of his coworkers who came down to race as well. It was an amazing experience being able to ride with almost 8000 riders. Note to self for next time: maybe do a little more road riding of a similar distance more then just two days before.

Two days after the Fondo we started our September team camp which entailed a few 4hr(100km) road rides to get across BC. In Revelstoke we met up with the BC Team and spent 5 days there training with them and relaxing in the sun. After their camp was done we packed up headed down to Rossland for another 5 days. We ran the epic 7 summits trail, 4hrs and 31kms, as well as a 4hr loop from Rossland, through the States and back. Next stop was Kelowna for 2 days to train with the BC talent squad and wind down what was an awesome camp and some high quality training in some unbelievable areas of BC.
