Trek Red Truck Racing Team

	May 21, 2013 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!

	May 21, 2013 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.

	May 20, 2013 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.

	May 20, 2013 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”

	April 30, 2013 TRT sweeps the podium at Newton Heights
	The opportunity presented itself for the team to race one of the best local circuit races of all time... Newton Heights

	May 9, 2013 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.

	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.

	May 9, 2013 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.

	April 30, 2013 Race the Ridge: Women
	Kristine, Meghan and myself (Sarah) braved the weather for the Saturday road race - Part one of the three stages of Race the Ridge.

	May 7, 2013 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.

	April 30, 2013 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.

	April 29, 2013 Sometimes short notice is the best notice!
	Sometimes short notice is the best notice, as Cody discovered the Arizona State Crit Championships were going to be held in Chandler, AZ on Saturday April 27th.

	April 22, 2013 Trek Clinches the Team GC at the Tour of Walla Walla
	Trek Red Truck Racing presented by Mosaic Homes sent a strong six man roster to the Tour of Walla Walla to do battle against the top amateur teams in the North West.

	April 22, 2013 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.

	April 13, 2013 Alison Sydor to be inducted to Canada's Sports Hall of Fame!
	It is an honour and privilege for the team to work with an athlete as ccomplished and decorated as Alison and feel grateful that she has chosen to share her vast knowledge and experience with the team. Congratulations Alison!

	April 8, 2013 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.

	March 29, 2013 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".

	March 30, 2013 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.

	March 28, 2013 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.

	March 27, 2013 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.

	March 26, 2013 The Kick-off to Santa Rosa Training Camp
	Monday marked the first official day of the Trek Red Truck 2013 Santa Rosa training camp. With all members of the racing team now in attendance, it was time to test out the legs and the new Trek bikes on some beautiful county roads.

	March 25, 2013 Training Camp: Day 1
	Day one of team camp was a day with lots of firsts for me: first time on the hilly roads of Santa Rosa, fist time on my new Trek Madone, first day using Di2 shifting and my first day with my new teammates and directors.

	March 15, 2013 Okanagan Springtime Cycling with Alison Sydor

	March 12, 2013 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".

	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.

	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.

	February 14, 2013 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.

	This past Sunday I joined up with a couple of riders from the Trek Red Truck Cycling Team and Women's Team manager Ann Yew for some winter cross training on the Nordic trails at Callaghan Country.
