BC Bike Race day zero

We had a few hurdles getting out here, but we're all ready to go. My food left at the airport found us, Jon's bike is now working, we've got all our gear.

I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to be fun.

I also think they under sell this race on the web site and marketing materials... I didn't see anywhere mentioned that like 25% of the field is 25-40 year old mountain biking chicks. It seems there's more girls riding here than I've seen mountain biking collectively in the last 5 years.
