Just finished the BC Epic 1000 from Merritt to Fernie BC
Great scenery and wide variety of trails (something for everyone to love or dread)
One of the coolest things was how the finish line was in a cool place to hang out (Town of Fernie). The majority of people stayed a day or two to greet the following racers at the finish line and party together
Flowers were fantastic and I will try to edit my iphone photos so it does it some justice. Need a real camera with a proper focal length and not a wide angle so the flowers appear closer together as they would appear to the naked eye (plus some Doppler image enhancement to make up for how they appear while moving after pedaling 14 hour days)
Dot stalkers were wondering why my dot was stuck just before the finish for a day (the following racers were expecting to have to cross roadkill), but I did find video evidence of why the penalty. While waiting for the train to clear the crossing just before the finish I went off course to hot dog in the skills park
