Our home away from home!

We are a mere 74 days away from meeting in Calgary for the beginning of the Transrockies Adventure. There will five of us, Blaine and Ted, the racing team and also Blaine's girlfriend Laura, Mark and myself. We will be navigating the Canadian Rockies in an RV, meeting up with Blaine and Ted every night and driving to the next stop during the day. Here are some pictures of our home away from home!

Gators North Rocks!

Thanks to Gators North in Waterdown, one of our favourite watering holes, for signing on as one of Blaine and Ted's first sponsors! Gator's has a long history of supporting their community and we can't thank them enough!

Okay, now I'm homesick thinking of Gator's wings and pitchers of REAL Canadian beer...

70% Sold Out! Have you registered yet?

Picture from the 2007 race

Registration for the 2008 Transrockies opened on November 1. By 1:45 pm on opening day, 162 teams had registered and the race was 54% sold out! On November 4 at 9:00 am, the race was 70% sold out! Blaine and Ted managed to register the first day, guaranteeing their spot as one of 300 teams in the 2008 race.

Meanwhile, we are putting the final details together for Blaine and Ted's sponsorship package. As you can imagine, this is an expensive race. Blaine and Ted have decided to ask for corporate sponsors in order to help offset the cost. Actually, several sponsors have approached them, without being asked! In addition to having their logos printed on the race jerseys, sponsors will also be listed on this blog with links to their websites. Watch for updates, and help us thank them for their support by checking out their sites!
