So all the planning and preparation is now behind them as the boys yesterday flew out to the land of the Maple Leaf to take on their Rocky Mountain Challenge.  The event itself does not get underway until the weekend but the lads flew out to Toronto to spend a few days in the nearby suburb of Mississauga with family friends to relax and get up to speed with the jet lag before making the further flight on to Calgary.

I certainly do not envy the baggage the guys have to carry about with them.  I dropped them off to the airport and these bike bags are enormous.  I’m sure a few eyebrows in airport security were raised when they walked in the door with these huge plastic boxes!

No doubt though they’ll be glad to see the back of them for a few days before again moving them on to Calgary were they will again take a few days to acclimatise to the conditions before beginning the event.
