It is great to see familiar faces and I hope the race will continue to stay casual. This race is the most laid back of all of the Sea to Sky Series events.

We are thrilled to give Mick and Phil the Number 1 bib for the race, and hope their story will inspire others to have a go in the future. We are proud to have them in the race.

The conditions were prefect and it was a nice, cool start. It was a little muddy as we climbed up to Helm Creek. Once we neared the top, we got into a little frost and gorgeous sunshine.

They do have a deer out here but I haven't seen it here. I just hope the deer (will be) alright.

My fondest hope is that President Bush will answer his telephone and look out his window and see millions upon millions of people in America and across the world expressing their opposition and that he will have an epiphany and a change of heart and that this war will not take place.

We hope to sell a lot of them, and we will be selling them up until the 24th, ... Along with that, we're putting on a lamb and goat show out at Gibbs Ranch and that's where we're going to have our drawing.
