Tour de Grande Montreal with the National Team - thanks Anne & Leigh for your mentorship, Jenny and Betina for making me laugh and Luc, Andrew and Sophie for taking such good care of us!
At last, I got my picture with Jeannie the legend Longo - wikipedia her, its worth it! (taken at Mt Hood stage race in Oregon mid May) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeannie_Longo Also in the picture is friend and fellow racer Allison Beall of Washington.
The Chinese Team Giant's spare bike at the Tour du PEI - 9 zip-ties will hold a carbon tube together won't it??
Me racing crits the way they should be - off the front! The last stage of PEI...
JT and I in front of Anne of Green Gables - this summer marks the 100th anniversary! How cool is that!! PEI rocks!
Our PEI team looking all pro, amazing what black & white can do for a bunch of bike racers!
JT and I after stage 2 of PEI where I failed to take over the top Canadian Jersey and would put myself in a position of chasing it for the remainder of the week. Excellent job JT for earning it in stage 1. We will be back next year!!
At the Nationals RR I enjoyed a call up based on my last years bronze medal performance; this year my success came in leading out my teams -mates JT and Steph where Steph was able to capture bronze in the U23 competition.Note the super HAWT pink Oakley Radars!!
My new super fast stealth suit which even matches my TT bike & helmet - the National Championships TT was OK this year with my only major mistake being that I went off course, resulting in my going the same distance, but having to slow considerably to get back on course through backed up traffic. I posted the 10th best time.
A shot from the National Championships RR, beautiful weather prevailed in Beauce Quebec.
Here JT and I, clad in the blues of the Giant/ Team Whistler kit, are surrounded by the Quebecois Mafia in the Nationals RR.
Suffer-face extraordinaire at the Giro di Burnaby where I am racing for Giant/Team Whistler and sporting an old helmet (red) after cracking mine in a couple of spots in an unfortunate crash earlier in the week.... Thanks Giant/Team Whistler for warmly welcoming me onto the team.Thanks for looking!
