Canada Cup à la Mud

No joke, we've been having a wet and mosquito-infested summer so far. Rain or shine, the show must go on for the Edmonton Canada Cup! Bruce took a few videos of the mudfest, which I've posted here. Luckily it didn't rain during the race itself but the trails were perilous in some sections. 


Many racers got off their bikes and walked through the more slippery parts of the race. The trails look easier to navigate on video:

Bruce followed Redbike racer Matt during part of the race, and almost hurt himself in the process:

Shantel pushes onward. Check out the mud on her legs!

In other news, we're getting bike lanes in my neighborhood!


New sidewalks,signage other construction is currently underway on 106 street. It;s been closed for a month, and judging by the amount of contruction I see every day, it won't be completed for another month.


I'll keep you up-dated on the progress! Our dog also likes the peace and tranquility of our normally traffic-heavy area.
