WHISTLER
A long haul fallowed up to a magical place called Whistler for another round of EWS competition. This race was the most brutally physical one day event in EWS history.
Whistler Highlights: consistent finishes, amazing trails and a full day on the bike.
Whistler Lowlights: more mechanicals on stage 4 and 5
Absolutely nobody's fault but my own on this one. This was how the day went for many among us. |

It was a month and a half full of racing a competition. As some looked forward to further competition, I set my sights on matrimony and a fall season full of exploring new territory.
