Cycling September

After some relaxing in August, September brought about another great training road trip.  In an attempt to meet more of the provincial clubs and see a bit more of beautiful BC, the CVTC team went on a southern BC tour.

The trip started with some long days on the road bikes as they pedalled across BC from Whistler to Revelstoke.  Supported by the coach and team van, and fuelled by some Honey Stinger treats (compliments of GranFondo Canada) the team arrived in Revelstoke in just under a week.  Joining CVTC in Revelstoke was the BC Team for some rollerskiing, soccer and the Terry Fox Run. 

After camping on the trans-BC bike ride and in Revelstoke the team was very happy to arrive to Rossland and sleep in the comfort of a bed.  Training in Rossland included a run along the legendary Seven Summits trail and some solid rollerskiing in and around the very hilly town. 

After Rossland, CVTC joined some youth skiers in Kelowna for the Teck Regional Camp.  Ski walking and rollerskiing with the young athletes was a great way to end a heavy training camp. 

The team returned to Whistler for some easy training and a bit of testing leading into their November on-snow camp in the Yukon.
