7 Days Until Green Mountain Stage Race

With only seven days remaining until we head out to Vermont for the GMSR, we thought we'd let you know what we've been up to lately. Training wise, we've done a lot of hills, as one stage is a mountain top finish with a 7k climb, and steeps hitting 20% according to the race bible. Also putting in lots of distance on our fequent routes, mostly west of London, main hills repeats are on Old River Road for those of you who were wondering.

Hopefully once we get to the hotel we'll be able to keep updating the blog with daily reports on the stages. However if there isn't a computer we'll still be updating our twitters, so be sure to check them out.

Biggest Race Of The Season

Sadly we did not end up going to Elliot Lake, but instead have already confirmed our entry in the Green Mountain Stage Race in Vermont. This is a 4 day, 4 stage race that is one of the biggest around. The competition will be great and we are really looking forward to showing what we can do. If you want to take a look at the race and all its info the website is http://www.gmsr.info/

We leave for the race in 2 weeks so we're training super hard right now.

Elliot Lake Update

We're still planning to go to Elliot Lake for the 3 stage race this Saturday and Sunday. All our riders are looking forward to competing in the first stage race of the year, including the Provincial Hill Climb TT, Criterium, and Road Race. We just have to finalize driving plans, (none of our parents want to drive 9 hours). Training lately has been going really well, the hot weather is great as well.
