Tremblant, well for the first time that almost any of the athletes can remember there was no rain preceding or during the race to make things muddy! The course was super fast and dry otherwise the same as always.
My race didn't go so well in terms of climbing fast but I was descending and riding the technical really well today. Unfortunately I also would have had to be on top of my climbing to have been higher in the results. I finished in 32nd position of a filed around 80, not my best result ever so I guess what I need to work on is putting everything together on race day!
So thats the plan for Hardwood, put everything together for a great result.

I had my first Canada Cup on May 13th in Baie St Paul, Quebec. I had a great start and was feeling strong but for some reason everytime I tried to put the power to the pedals my chain would skip. kinda frustrating but I finished in 28th position. The next weekend we raced in Bromont Quebec but before headign down there I travelled with a couple of friends to Plymouth
New Hampshire to ride some amazing single track and for me to work on my technical riding skills. Bromont went well and I am definetly in shape and riding strong just still needing to improve those technical skills. Basically I would make time on the uphills and flat but then loose just a little bit more time than I gained on the technical descents. At least I know what I need to work on! I finished 20th in Bromont which was an improvement but with working on the technical skills over the next week will hopefully be able to move up in rankings again at Tremblant on the 26th.
There was this huge chocolate festival going on in Bromont so we went to check that out and the truffles were by far rthe best!
Tremblant is a good course and as of right now its dry and 30! its suppose to be 20 on weekend but thats still nice riding weather!

Toronto
Its the start of the bike racing season for me and I am spending some time in Toronto hanging out with my brother, sister in law and their 18month girl Kaitlyn before going to Quebec to begin the Canada Cup Series!
While a lot of the guys I will be racing against have already been to quite a few races this year Baie St Paul will be my first.
Its going to be a good race and I have heard there is still a ton of snow up there so its going to interesting. Probably another mud fest just like the majority of races in Quebec.
