This Week…At a Glance

I am away until Friday August 18. Training on Tuesday will be at Carl’s Torture Chamber in Sherwood Forest, no, Sherwood Park, (right by a forest…well, a grove of trees at least). We will classic rollerski on Saturday at Capilano (rained out last time we tried it). The plan is to do some longer climbing (even run a bit on the grass), as we prepare for some TT’s and eventually the rollerski race on Sunday Oct 1.
