Less than a week to go!

Well - it is less than a week to go before Tour de North begins on September 9th in Fort St John. Excitement is building in all the communities that Tour will travel through this year and support from communities across Northern BC has been amazing!

Riders are wrapping up fund raising events in their communities and trying to fit in those last minute training rides. The new north to south route will prove to be challenging and it will be fun to break ground for Tours to come.

As always, in my mind, I wonder.....have I trained enough? Has everyone else trained enough? How will we mesh as a group of 20+ riders when most of us have never met before? It has been a most challenging summer of training as the weather has been most uncooperative - with some of the wettest and coldest weather in 30 years in the North. That hasn't stopped us from getting out there to pound the pedals and hopefully it has prepared us for anything Mother Nature will through at us that week.

It takes a lot of time and dedication by the ones who commit to ride in Tour and we also couldn't do it without the support of our family, friends, co-workers, sponsors and support crew. Please come out and cheer us on as we pass through your community!
