This would be for my wife. Don’t care much about the goody bag, or the pre-party. More for her comfort on a veeerrrryyyy long day. She spectated IMAZ and was almost as tired as I was. The venue is Whistler, and it is a point to point. So there may be an upside with the viewing and shuttling, but maybe a downside as there’s probably tons of places to hang out in the village.
Anyone ever bought one of these for their SO, and have any thoughts? I was already planning on scheduling a massage for her while I am out on the bike.
Took the cost out as it’s not a concern, she’s put up with so much with my training that it’s a drop in the proverbial bucket (not to mention all the other costs we incur).
