Trek Red Truck dominates Banff Bike Fest
In bike racing, the Criterium is the feature event. It is the opportunity to showcase the pure beauty and speed of the sport of cycling to the masses, and to highlight the venue and its residents who have proudly shared their home to the sport and the athletes.

Victoria Cycling Weekend Festival
After some cool rainy weather things warmed and brightened up well for the Victoria Cycling Festival weekend. The Trekredtruckracing Team is based in Vancouver, but almost could be considered a "local" team for this race weekend, with so many riders living or with ties to Victoria

TRT continues its successful tour of the USA at the Ballard Crit
Last Saturday, as a last minute decision, I drove down (or rather sat in traffic) to Seattle to race the Ballard Criterium. We arrived only thirty minutes before the race - forgetting about the fallen bridge in Skagit!
Virginia

Tropical Storm Andrea hits Richmond, Virginia
The day before I flew out to Virginia, the local weather had a storm warning. Copious amounts of rainfall were predicted, as well as flood warnings, as apparently Tropical Storm Andrea was coming to the town of Richmond. I couldn't have been happier.

Victoria: TRT men and women out in full force
This past weekend marked the first weekend in which all of the TRT men and women were out in full force, well... with the exception of Craig Logan and Jenny, who were both sidelined with injuries but still made multiple appearances throughout the weekend.

A successful weekend on the Island for the TRT squad
The promise land beckoned the Trek Red Truck crew to the annual Robert Cameron Law Cycling Series this past weekend. The weekend was broken down into three events...
Nimby 50

June 1, 2013
Nimby 50: Man, I love that trail
The Nimby 50 course is definitely my style of racing. It's a climber's course for sure, and the descents are fall line, with lots of loose surfy sections, lots of roots, slick rocks, and drops.
Alabama

Trek hits it down south at an Alabama Xterra
Rolled into Alabama from 15 degrees in Squamish to 25 degrees with humidity that felt like 35. Here we go again.

Enumclaw: Just win baby
Our history here runs deep, and we looked to continue the winning tradition. With a little pre-ride of the tt the night before, our main man Jesse seemed confident in his abilities and would set the early standard for the weekend: we go fast! And we win!

Mutual of Enumclaw: We played our cards right
This year marked my third time racing the "Claw", and although the saying goes "third time's the charm", this time the "charm" had little to do with it being my third time at the race and everything to do with my Trek Red Truck Racing p/b Mosaic Homes teammates.

More from The Claw
My teammates being away racing at Gatineau, I was the lone female representative for TRT this weekend. The time trial was flat and fast, and I finished mid-pack.
Gatineau

Gatineau: c'est dommage, but still a flawless trip!
Right from the get-go, we were extremely fortunate for numerous helping hands, starting with the race organizers, who provided flawless airport transportation both ways—my first taste of the “big leagues”

Pan American Championships

Pan American Championships
Going down to a Pan American Championships is always a very different experience than racing in North America. The food, the racers, the courses, climate and various racers all provide their own challenges and obstacles.
Gila Monster

May 9, 2013
Stage 5: Gila Monster!
Racing in big USA stage races usually goes something like this: starts really hard, small break goes, pack sits up as the yellow jersey's team controls the pace, race gets manageably kinda easy-ish for a while then the break gets chased back and it gets really hard again.
Tour of the Gila

Tour of the Gila Day 4, Criterium
Day four of Silver City's Tour of the Gila powered by SRAM started with a nice leisurely trip to Javalina Coffee House, where we, and by we I mean Adam, was able to sample and check one more cookie off Phil Gaimon's list of top ten cookies in America.

Race the Ridge: Men
As the clouds gathered on Saturday morning for what would be a very wet road race, riders, unfazed, were prepping for the start of Local Ride's Race the Ridge. This was BC after all... and a little bit of rain never stops the races from proceeding.
Sunshine Coaster

Brandi wins Sunshine Coaster XC
I had a strange gut feeling that my bike was going to fail me. Not sure why, just a feeling. I grabbed an extra zap strap at registration, put a roll of electrical tape in my jersey pocket, and hoped I had some good trail karma in the bank.

Jenny Lehmann Takes a Stage Win at Walla Walla
The TT was a nine mile loop that had one slight climb about halfway through. The girls, (Jenny, Kristine, Sarah, Megan) arrived early to warm up - the wind would prove to be a significant factor in the race.

Barry's Roubaix: the cobbled classic
It is through clouded vision and burning eyes that I reminisce about Local Ride’s gravel rendition of the cobbled classic, otherwise known as Barry’s Roubaix. While Paris Roubaix took place under clear skies this morning, we were not so fortunate.

The team tackles mega-epic ride King’s Ridge
Dawn broke on the second to last day of team camp with overcast skies and cooler temps. The riders were tired from the week’s exploits, and rolled down to the breakfast feast early to get ready for the long mega-epic ride called “King’s Ridge".

Day 5: Long live the Duck!
Recovery day for the team and the Duck Ride for the sponsors and masters. For me it comes on Day 5 of the Training camp and I’ll admit I was a little crushed after some long days and was looking forward to an easy spin over to the Napa Valley.

Day 4 brings the Geysers climb, burnt out legs and mega ping-pong!
A misty departure out of town to the base of the tough Geysers climb was on tap for the day. A nice 60km spin to warm the legs for the pains ahead.

The Kick-off to Santa Rosa Training Camp
Today the TRT team and sponsors rode the iconic Pine Flats here in Santa Rosa. We were lead out by two amazing motor pacers Richard and Dirk who took us on a beautiful route out to the start of the local leg breaker climb of Pine Flats - which is an ironic name for such an un-flat 14+ kms.

The Kick-off to Santa Rosa Training Camp

TRT Flies Flag in SoCal
Last week I got the chance to kick off my year a little early ahead of the team's first big race of the season. I was a lone wolf at the "Island View Classic".
Armstrong Spring Series

March 11, 2013
Armstrong Spring Series
The early morning trek from Victoria to Vancouver was marked with a light drizzle and the feeling of having missed an hour of sleep due to daylight saving time. The team was headed for a short, but challenging race featuring the legendary Armstrong Road climb out near River Road.
Trek Madone

February 23, 2013
Snelling Road Race
The Snelling RR is becoming somewhat of a traditional season opener for me with this being the second year running that I've started the season off here. Snelling is also the unofficial start to the Nor Cal road season, and usually draws a pretty good crowd.

Canadians fight hard at World Championships
Upon returning home to Canada from Louisville, Kentucky, I felt that a letter like this was warranted, because the support for the Team Canada riders at this year World Championships was absolutely amazing.
