This year I took a crack at the Golden Triangle put on by the Elbow Valley Cycling Club. Basically you ride for 100km per day and have three very fully stocked food stops. I think I gained weight on this weekend. This was the last year they were allowed to run Counter Clockwise, which is a better ride but the powers that be have safety issues with a 1000 riders crossing the highway for snack stops.
I also I put the bike on the greyhound bus and a few days later I flew into Kelowna and rode the bike back to Calgary.... what made me decide this was a good idea I don't know but it was a blast!
The Pro's are in Canada!!! This is the second time the World Cycling Championships have ever been held out side Europe. The first was Montreal many many years ago. I would have lived off rice for a month to pay for this trip. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am glad to this day that I did it. On this trip I also went to Niagara falls and I visited my cousin Leah in Ottawa.
