Off to the Land of Squirrels and Maple Syrup

Finally after the long awaited count down I am off to Canada.
After finishing up school for the term it will be straight onto the plane on Saturday direct to Qubec City. From here we will travel to Bromont where we have our first race the following Saturday, this is a Canadian National Race and it will be a good warm up to the World Cup race which will be held on the same course in 4 weeks time. From here we travel back to Mont Sainte Anne where we will be based for 2 and a half weeks, this will be a solid training block and will take in the first of two World Cup races
for the trip. The last week and a half we are back down to Bromont for the second World Cup race, and then it is back to the land of cold, in the wintry down under! So a fairly short trip, but i am definitely excited about getting away and focusing on being an athlete, riding some sweet singletrack and working towards gaining selection for the World Championships, which will be held shortly after in September at Stromlo, Canberra!!
