Welcome to St. Croix!

With an early flight and 2 tight connections, we are very pleased to say we and our bikes made it here without any complications. We left Ottawa at 6h15 and arrived in St. Croix just after 15h00. The weather is what they promised - cloudy with isolated showers :(

We checked into Company House and quickly made our way to the wharf to get something to eat. While sitting waiting for our table, we happened upon fellow Ottawans Zoe, Chris, Dev and Mike. We joined them for dinner and great conversation, and then made our way back into the street to check out the "Jump Up" festival. The locals put this on in celebration of the 70.3 race and it's a fantastic display of culture with music and dance including a full steel band and many dancers on stilts. Fantastic!

It was an early night for us as we were up early and the travel proved to be taxing. We are up early, have eaten breakfast and are now making our way back to the room to put together our bikes and take them out for our pre-race spin.

We'll drop you a line a little later. Internet is only available in the lobby on a common computer so updates will be as often as we can.

cheers,
Heather & Brian
