Last year at this time I was crewing for Team Baja in the TransRockies....

This year I helped with the organization of the menu plan for this most amazing 7-day mtn bike Stage race that takes athletes from Panarama ski resort in BC through to Crowsnest Pass in Alberta to the final finish in the town of Fernie, BC.  The first few days dawned with downright COLD temperatures - I was wearing my ski clothes and today the temperatures are in the mid 30's(that would be close to 90 degrees for my friends in the south!)

I have to admit my work with the food has been pretty darn easy with the help of Anne Riches and her crew out of Windemere the athletes are getting totally fueled both morning and evening with tasty and nutritious foods.  I'll admit I had 2 servings of the pasta last night and I didn't even ride!!!!

I did manage a bit of a diversion during the middle part of the week as I headed to Banff to visit with Wim and Nancy and enjoy some of the most beautiful running and riding no doubt in the world - will download the photos when I get home - but simply awesome and a place everyone should see at least once in their life!

I am back in BC on Saturday in time for the Apple triathlon on Sunday in Kelowna - always a treat on the BC triathlon circuit. 

So....look for photos shortly and an update for IMC taking place on the 24th of August- time flies when you are having fun......so get out there and have some fun!!!
