2008 Road Racing Season
Here are some pics from my 2008 racing season. I raced for the EMD Serono Stevens womens team. I did alot of travelling and racing in the US (primarily New York and Vermont) in the spring – Jiminy Peaks, Hollenbeck, Bear Mountain, Syracuse stage race and one or 2 others I can’t remember! As a team, we raced the Calabogie Ontario Cup, where I placed 4th, the Montreal World Cup, the tour de PEI UCI stage race and National Road Championships in Beauce, Quebec. That is where my season ended. I got caught behind a crash that I could not avoid on a high speed descent and went down hard. My collarbone fractured in 4 places and I required surgery to have a plate put in.
This is me, Trish and Sophie in Syracuse after Sophie finished on the podium in the stage race.
Montreal World Cup – epic conditions and poor Quebec roads made for an interesting race. I was happy with how I raced, and impressed with my teammate, Sue Schlatter’s, 33rd place in a World Class field. Just for the record, this Stevens road bike is the lightest and stiffest bike I’ve ever ridden. What a treat!

This is me and Sophie on a bus shelter in Charlottetown, PEI! Apparently we were the poster girls for the ’08 tour de PEI. The picture was from ’07. Sophie is in red and yellow and I’m in the blue Advil jersey right beside Sophie. We always seem to be close to one another in races so it was pretty funny to see us on the bus shelter, especially because we were on different teams last year.
