At that time there was no shoulder to speak of on the Queen K, now they have a really wide one. My guess is that's to accommodate athletes that come to train. We saw quite a few cyclist/triathletes whenever we were out on the Queen K (mind you, we were there during high season, and Lavaman right around the corner). Didn't see very many riders past Kawaihae, so that part of the course probably isn't as popular.<br /><br />I know that Penticton residents were really getting fed up with the number of athletes in town all spring to train, and were getting openly hostile about it. They may be wishing for those days again, though... big tourism dollars lost there!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625895458409346937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327067298989463881.post-60398663279605247202014-03-27T09:33:14.980-07:002014-03-27T09:33:14.980-07:00I wonder if the locals must get really tired of pe...I wonder if the locals must get really tired of people riding the IM course!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327067298989463881.post-23084904697232341642014-03-24T18:02:17.328-07:002014-03-24T18:02:17.328-07:00Looks great!
