We have nothing more to say about the slapstick comedy event in Kamloops, but apart from the race we had a great trip, got in plenty of riding and enjoyed fantastic hospitality. After leaving the race in Kamloops and arriving back in Squamish we were invited to stay with Dave and Sandy, the owners of Corsa bike shop. Dave took us out on his after-dinner blast loop - starting with a slick rock in the back yard and singletrack on the doorstep. We've been lucky to meet fantastic people at every turn. If you ever get a chance to visit Squamish, call in to Corsa. Great shop and really great people.
Those who have been following the blog will know that we had a pretty rotten time at the race in Kamloops and left early. Our only regret is that we didn't get a chance to say goodbye to all the great people we met. Hopefully we'll get the chance to return to Kamloops some time - not to race and not in the middle of July, but to enjoy the trails with some of the mountain biking locals, whom I have no doubt are wonderful people. Canadians are some of the most hospitable people on earth and BC is still one of our favourite places.
Driving to the trailhead in a redneck pickup truck is how we rip in BC. Dude.

Kitting up to ride - it's 33 degrees and warming up.









We're back in the UK now, recovering from jetlag and preparing for the World Marathon Champs in Austria in a couple of weeks. While we were away, Annabel has been road racing in Belgium and Ruth bagged second place in the Southern XC champs. We'll have more race reports up soon.
Happy Trails
Jenn
