Axel Merckx Speaks at UBCO breakfast
The morning alarm sounded at 5:30 today so I could get to the UBC-Okanagan Athletic breakfast fundraiser. The speaker they brought in was Axel Merckx who's simple but profound message about cycling was just to get on your bicycle, no matter what age you are, level etc., and just enjoy yourself. I felt as though he was talking to me. Also, terrific job Axel pointing out all the places you could have lived in the world and articulating why you chose Kelowna to be your home.
Moms and Dads, if your kids are UBCO athletes and attended this morning's breakfast you can give yourselves a pat on the back because your kids were fantastic hosts and tremendous ambassadors for their university and our city.
And finally, hey UBCO, when are you going to build a 50m swimming pool?
