Women's Race
This year's RBC Granfondo was a fun and fast day of racing. The race started off aggressively, with a fast pace up Taylor Way. Good positioning allowed me to reach the front group. I was able to stick with the group through to Squamish. In Squamish, the race started to get more dynamic with breaks going up the road. My legs felt strong and I was able to be in the first chase group going into Whistler. I was very happy to take first place in the individual women's field and even more happy to stand on the top step as a team, winning the St. Regis Cup! The team fought hard on all the way from Vancouver to Whistler, ending the season on a great note!
Men's Race
The men’s team had a great time finishing off the season with the world-famous Whistler Grand Fondo. It was a hard, but well fought race by the men who ended up just falling short of their goal of a team podium finish. However, they gave it their all on legs tired from a long, hard season, as they climbed up the scenic sea-to-sky highway, although they didn’t have many opportunities to take in the scenery in the heat of the race. The race was a constant battle of covering attacks and trying to shutdown threatening breakaways. Red Truck alum Alexander Fraser-Maraun broke away with another strong rider near the end of the race and were able to stay away. Cooper Langard made a strong solo effort in the last few kilometres to take third place and Celeb Ney took 10 th place from the bunch sprint with the rest of the team not far behind. Untimely, the team all finished in great spirits in Whistler, happy to conclude their successful season.
