We got off course today due to course tampering. Some smart ass kids on ATV's were picking up the signs and ribbons and moving them. We knew as soon as we went up the gravel hill that we were off course. Luckily for us one of our support motor bikes came along, but he wanted us to wait until before sending us off down the right trial in case there was more tampering along the way. We were like a flock of 20 sheep all following the leader. We eventually went on our way, only to find more misplaced markers leading us to a road without a marshal...a sure sign we were not on the BC Bike race route. We eventually found our way...it just made for a longer day in the hot sun. Kat was quite frustrated too, as the screws in her cleats had fallen out so she didn't know whether she could free her foot when needed.
I gave Kat a challenge today, to do 3 things that scared her. She got up to 6 and a half. (That's what you get for calling number 7 before the top of the hill!)
Another rider named Jeff took a video of me while waiting for our teamates.
