Wrapped up the '23 season with @ncldisruptorscc this past weekend in Atlanta!๐Ÿ We finished 2nd in the overall #NCLcup series after a hard fought battle that came down to the final sprint๐ŸฅˆI didn't know what to expect this year, but in the end it was very fun to race & travel around America with this fantastic group of people who all embraced the challenge of trying something new ๐Ÿ˜Š . Personally, I appreciated the chance to be based back in Canada as bike racer with new goals in the sport ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ I felt grounded at home & could find a little more balance with other things in life that were a challenge while competing at the WT level. I garden & finally own houseplants๐Ÿชด, and could say yes to attending some family dinners, birthdays and weddings! Excited to see what comes next in this bike life ๐Ÿšฒ . . . ๐Ÿ“ธ@snowymountainphotography @bontcycling @defeet @factorbikes @factorbikes_us @fsa_road @globalcyclingnetwork @nixhydration @pocsports @powerbarsport @usacycling @searchforspd @vision_tech_usa @vitalityintl @wahoofitnessofficial #NCLRacing23 #NCLCup23 #alwaysahead #fsa #fullspeedahead #behindhandlebars #winthewind #vision #visiontechusa #visionwheels

Back from a whirlwind weekend of hot high altitude racing in Salt Lake City with @ncldisruptorscc !๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”ฅ Two days of breakaways for me that didn't quite work out this time around. Highlights of the weekend include @valescandolara winning 1kg of silver as a prime & the men finishing 1-2 on the last day! . . @bontcycling @defeet @factorbikes @factorbikes_us @fsa_road @globalcyclingnetwork @nixhydration @pocsports @powerbarsport @usacycling @searchforspd @vision_tech_usa @vitalityintl @wahoofitnessofficial #NCLRacing23 #NCLCup23 #alwaysahead #fsa #fullspeedahead #behindhandlebars #winthewind #vision #visiontechusa #visionwheels ๐Ÿ“ธ@snowymountainphotography

Pursuing an Olympic dream allowed me to constantly push and expand my mental & physical limits. It led me to race my bike in some incredible places around the world as I sought to compete against the best riders to try and be among them. That big dream led to moving abroad & connecting with so many amazing people from different cultures around the world. New lessons from every person, place, & experience. The Olympics represent more than just a few competition days every 4 (or 5) years. Pursuing big dreams is always worth it for what you might experience and discover along the way during both the good & bad times. Grateful I did get to fulfill that dream to represent Team Canada with these killer teammates โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Happy Olympic Day! . . #Olympicday #dreambig #Tokyo2020 #cycling #sport #Rio2016 #Olympics #TeamCanada
