Rocky Mountain 1200 -- ready, set ...

We start at 10PM Sunday night ... in 3 hours.  Signing off and not likely I will be posting again until the finish (or at least the latter part of the ride).   Rider updates available on the organizers' site.
On the drive from Vancouver to Kamloops.  These are NOT the Rockies yet.

Willi's velomobile -- human powered vehicle!  Wickedly fast on the downhills and flats.
Micky Inagaki gives a token of his thanks to Will D. for helping him to finish Cascade 1200.  Will pointed out and helped him fix a dangerous condition on his bike, when Micky was in extremis on Day 3.
View yesterday from Thompson Rivers Univ. housing where we are staying.
Kamloops reminds me of Bend Oregon, CA 2005 - around 75,000 people, lots of new buildings, in-migration.

View 30 minutes ago from Thompson Rivers Univ. housing where we are staying until the 10PM start.
