This was supposed to go out the day before Big Sugar (and it did.... without any video) but I was having some technical difficulites, so figured better late then never! Anyways, training tips! What to do the day before a big (gravel) race.

Please join us in wishing Michael a happy retirement, chapeau to an incredible career, and congratulations on a new career with the Canadian National Team! 🫡

No fairytale endings today, not that I really expected any (although it turning into a 86km gravel did get my hopes up!). Made the right moves, crashed and got back in, got dropped 3x and clawed my way back, just to get the front flat with 15km to go. Rode the insert with the group until the last climbs into town, but couldn't get past that. I don't think I've totally processed the whole last pro race thing yet, so I'll leave that for another day.

Welcome to the Thunder Dome! 3 riders enter only 2 leave. Sorry 😜

#littlesugar #Ledges
Did my best to listen to and fake some fitness out there by being efficient and it worked! For half the race. The other half.... not quite so much. Between flatting, cramping, and just generally blowing up those lasr 20miles or so were rough, but still reasonably happy to end up in 32nd at the end of it all.

Little Sugar in just a couple days! The last month or so has probably been about the busiest I've ever been work, deciding to list and trying to sell our house, and just having a toddler in general, but I'm excited to be here and more than ready to see what I can do on Sunday.

I think it’s finally time to share that these last few races of the season—Big Sugar, Little Sugar, and Iceman—will be my final ones as a professional cyclist.
.
As I scrolled through old photos to put this post together, I couldn’t help but feel incredibly grateful for everything the past 15+ years of racing have given me. I started out as a farm kid who just loved pushing himself and chasing the freedom that riding brought. If you had told me back then that I’d turn that passion into a career—competing against the best in the world, traveling, making lifelong friends, learning so much about myself, and even winning a few national titles—I probably would have laughed.
.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make racing a reality for me. There are far too many people to name, but I know none of this would have been possible without you.
.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still be riding bikes (and maybe even lining up at some races), but I’m excited and ready for it to no longer be the top priority in my life.
