Road Race

Today Brayden had the road race – and unfortunately he had mechanical problems and finished well back in 12th.

It was a good day for Canada though as Jaye finished 5th and Marie Claude finished 2nd for a silver medal!

That’s it for Brayden’s racing for a while… track worlds aren’t until the fall, so he’ll be coming home to Calgary and continuing to train as he goes back to Mount Royal in September.

Worlds Update!

Today was the Time Trial and Brayden did awesome.

Brayden missed the podium by 30 sec and finished 4th in 40:31 – a personal best! He held 2nd going into the long downhill (5 km to go), but could not hold off the US rider.

Tomorrow is the Road Race – GO BRAYDEN GO!!

Update from Brayden

Sorry guys – I’ve been getting updates from Brayden and just haven’t had a minute to post them. Here’s the summarized version:

    Been busy training with Eric getting ready for Worlds
    There was a Worlds camp in Bromont with all the cyclists to prepare
    Now in Baie-Comeau for the Worlds
    Baie-Comeau is only Worlds for Road Racing:

      Time Trial is on August 20 – 2 laps , 22.8km
      Road Race is on August 21 – 5 laps , 57km

Here’s the official website for the races and I’ll be posting as I get emails from my Dad/brother – feel free to send Brayden messages through the site – he’d love to hear from you!
