In Penticton

I arrived in Vanouver late on thursday evening (2 hours late) compliments of air canada. I was meeting Greg and Corena who flew in earlier. Greg decided to book a room at the hotel at the airport. We got up early on Friday and drove to Penticon which took about 4 hours. It is beautiful here and we are staying at a really nice condo. It is also quite hot which is a bit of a concern for the race. We took our bikes to get checked over at the Bike Barn which proved to be a good move. I have a lot of difficulty getting my back wheel on and off and in doing so i bent the derailler a bit. Otherwise, my bike was fine. Corena's bike had a lot of problems which they fixed. Corena and I went to the athletes dinner Friday night. These are fun but pretty much the same at every event. I got a good nights sleep Friday night . Today (Saturday) we are going for a short bike ride and 15 minute run and then we will just try to relax and eat and drink lots. Penticon itself (although it has beautifuk scenery) does not seem to be a particularly interesting town.
