Get Cam to pronounce the name of the ride for you sometime ...
How long is the climb? FOREVER
So, our epic ride during training camp was the Ironman Canada Course plus. We added the climb to the Anarchist Lookout in Osoyoos, skipped the out-and-back in Cawston, and went back to Penticton via Green Mountain Road. Then, a quick spin out to Skaha Bluffs to secure the first 200 km ride of the season (and for me, ever).

Rachel & Mike ready for the ride. Matching kits were the order of the day
Three wicked-awesome athletes, with Osoyoos in the background
In case you've never turned around after descending Richter Pass, this is what it looks like from the first Roller

And of course we took the requisite stop at the Bear. Why don't they have any energy bars? Brian, you should work on that
The pump that is not a pump
Great ride with some great friends.

Peach Classic: A Spectator's PoV
So I went out running in Penticton today, and there was some sort of race going on, dedicated to a big giant Peach.
Friend James starting the bike, on his way to a PR and DQ!
First out of the water and first in our hearts! Mike Adams showing great run form even when wearing a wetsuit
Rachel Kiers, smiling as always!
Local rockstar JonnyO sporting some awesome Orbea gear!

Leading Edge Coach Andrew
This is why we come here. Running along the KVR in Naramata
Jeremy didn't look up when we yelled his name from Hillside Estates Winery. Must be the helmet
... and we knew that Fast Richele wouldn't be too far behind
For some reason they let this guy on the course
If there's a headband involved, you'll be sure that Anthony is there
If you know that to look for, you can see Jeremy running for the finish line a mile away!
Nice glasses!
Yes, Welcome economy
Some very, very fast athletes.
Congrats to everyone who raced - thanks for making my run so entertaining!
