New V2W information and updates
Posted: Thu Aug 19, 2010 3:08 pm
Hi Tripleshot guys and gals. since I entered the Whistler Granfondo in May I have had some communication with "Mara"' who efficiently answers my emails.
1. I recently asked her if at the big rest stop and aid station in Squamish could a team, such as us, have a person hand any tripleshotters in Cat 3 and in the other 4000 cyclists bottles or snacks. She is getting back to me, but from reading the rules over again it seems possible[I mean really, in N2V Cops ride, who else looked like a PRO team besides us???? We even had a number of domestiques get me water.
2. Brian probably knows this ,but any members that are registered ,but did not put down TSC as team name has to cc Brian in an email to Mara by August 22[I think thats the date, check website] and Brian needs to confirm it with them.
3. She confirmed that we can enter our appropriate starting zones as early as 6 a.m. and get a spot, turn our bike upside down and check in our bag, have a triple shot of coffee, visit washroom, and tell each other how sharp we look!! [remember we will be there with about 3975 other keeners like us...they are closing the streets starting at 3a.m.]
That's it for now...its in only 3 weeks!!! Anyone going longer this Saturday, Sunday ??or join Mark Ford and myself next Wednesday for the 'double wammy ride': Hills with TSC then 100km at 9a.m. with WMG ride " Ken Bonner coffee ride to Sidney" note to --- Lawyers , Government workers,Doctors: Wednesday can be called continuing education or an important breakfast meeting. cheers, Paul C.
