2011

2010 proved to be yet another great year!
I pretty much stayed local for racing this year so I would have to say my highlight of 2010 was my work event, the 3 weeks I spent riding across Canada. After our first year under our belts in 2009, it made for a smoother transition into our second year for our ride, which meant a little more sleep each night and more time on the bike. Yukon/Whitehorse was definable a highlight too - what a great place and some great riding!!

2010 Race recap:

Dirty Duo: 1st
Island Cup Race Cumberland: 3rd
BC Cup # 1: 4th
Orecrusher (BC Marathon Series): 1st
Nimby Fifty: 3rd
North Shore Fest (BC Marathon Series): 3rd
Test of Metal (BC Marathon Series): 7th
24hrs of light (team event Yukon): 1st
Gear Jammer (BC Marathon Series): 3rd
Ride Across Canada - Cyclebetes
Grandfondo: couldn't keep up to those roadies but stoked with a time of 3hr 53mins!
Crank the Sheild 3 day mtb stage race: 3rd

Was a little disappointed I couldn't make the last race for the BC Marathon Series, as I would have taken the win for the series, it was the only one that was mandatory - will see what the rules are for 2011.

After pretty much taking the last 3 months off the bikes, I am all geared up to get back into it. Still waiting to receive my new Norco CRR1 Road Bike to get in some indoor spin sessions while this rain proceeds to fall and got out on the mtb today. Feeling very slow and unfit but ready to put it back into gear!!

I am pumped for my move to Squamish early December and to be close to all the amazing trails for spring and summer. Work has been inspiring and we are some unbelievable plans we have been working on and am thrilled for what 2011 and 2012 have to offer!

Line up for 2011:

Feb:
Road riding trip in Palm Springs for a weeks

Mar:

April:
Island Cup Cumberland

May:
6hr Salty Dog (Salmon Arm)

July:
Furious3 3 day stage race (Fernie)

I would love to add in there a trip to Chil Coltins, also do the seven summits in Rossland on the way back from the Fernie race and some riding in Hood river, either as a part of the trip down to Bend for the 100 miler race or a separate trip. Summer is just never long enough to fit everything in!!
