Stampede

After a fatigued effort at our corporate part Monday, today was a bit of Stampede breakout for me - a corporate party on the West patio 5 floors above Steven Avenue in the blazing heat, but with excellent chili, corn, chicken beef and 'slaw to go with the cold ones, an afternoon work session, Ft. Calgary afternoon shift with the concerts in a corporate tent with plenty of snacks, shade and refreshments, and then on to the chuckwagons and 30X saloon hospitality. Chuckwagon racing seems sketchier than a cycling peloton on wet cobbles to me.

It was all topped off by a visit to the mini donut stand before we left.

In other news, the new belt buckles this year have been getting positive reviews.
