Ground zero on day zero. The hour is upon us! Started the day with a trip to Argyle school for the hub bub of registration. So exciting to see all the racers streaming in and the stacks of red racer bags and yoga mats ready for us to pack up.
Inside our race packets were lots of great goodies, but these are by far the awesomest features: top tube stickers of each stage profile. So valuable.
Down in the staging area the kids' races got started. So cute and exciting to see little rippers. Reminded me of the Pink Helmet Posse.
Little girls on bikes!! Yes!!
Here are the little dudes getting it done. My favourite was the kid in the dragon costume.
Dad couldn't walk by the podium without giving it a try.
The contents of my racer package. My number, 218 is of extra special significance because 02.18 is Gerhard's birthday! Thanks universe!
Ran through some openers today before I got rained on again. It's been raining a lot and we're expecting to race Stage One in the mud.
Making my fav rice cakes, of course!
Our racer safety meeting featuring the most hilarious discussion about piss, shit and bear attacks I have ever encountered. Thanks Brooks!
Home sweet home! Final prep now underway and here's our amazing palace on wheels. Plus my trusty steed.
And check out this crew!! Gerhard arrived tonight so our team is complete. And my brother-in-law Reinholt is here for good cheer and good vibes, too. Super excited to get rolling! Bed time :)
