Day Zero BC Bike Race

I can't believe it's here!!! It was only a year ago that I was given the ok to ride again from the doctors and now I'm about the embark on The Ultimate Singletrack experience. It's all exciting, overwhelming, and awesome all at the same time. I've been a bundle of nerves all week.

Today was registration, the kid's race, and later today will be the race meeting. Waking up this morning, I was more grateful than ever to live on the North Shore. I literally walked over to Argyle school where the festivities were taking place. It was a nice feeling of relaxation amidst the otherwise frantic nature of preparing for something so big. I was surprised by how big the lines were considering I showed up right on time, but everything moved quickly and I was soon outside watching my friend Heather's son rip it up in the kids race.

When I got home with my racer bag and swag from numerous sponsors, the excitement was too much, so I headed out for my last pre-race ride. In true North Shore fashion it poured rain the whole time.I felt grateful that this didn't phase me one bit and felt kind of bad for the racers from drier places.

Now it's time to pack, go to the racer's meeting and get a good night's sleep. It feels like Christmas!!! Before I sign off, I just want to thank all my friends and family who have been messaging me, cheering for me, and supporting me. I couldn't have done this without YOU!
