5.30 am here in Whitehorse but my body says it’s daytime – and lunchtime. Breakfast doesn’t open for an hour and a half.

Good flights via Vancouver. Delayed but all the baggage arrived intact including the bike so I’m happy. Mix up at the hotel so I’ve no room for tomorrow but praying that God will sort something out. Don’t really want to move out of this room – I’ve already created such a mess!

Brilliant to feel the bite of the cold air coming out of the airport. Going get colder later in the week but too early to tell what it will be like for the the race.
