Juvederm Specialized Mazda - the growth and memories gained from my experiences of 2011 will forever be a part of my cycling career- of my life- that I will cherish. To have experienced all that was, the highs and the lows, I am so very grateful for.
The dawn of a new season brings change. And as such it's time to update my blog. Maybe I'm a bit sentimental, but rather than forever deleting those who so generously made 2011 possible for myself and my JSM team mates, I would like to "publicly" take a moment to speak to the companies who supported the team, who believed in what was possible from the union of two regional teams in what was the creation of Canada's first UCI women's team in many years. To me these logos represent some outstanding behind the scenes people who, in the face of their respective brands, believe in sport, in women's sport, in the individual athletes and in all that is possible when a likeminded group of individuals focus their energy on a common goal.
The amount of energy, time, resources and passion brought together to create the team and the 2011 season was tremendous, probably much more than you or I can actually even grasp. Our 2011 successes were a direct result of that.

Without the tremendously generous support from Juvederm we wouldn't have been able to put gas in the tank of our mazda 5 team cars or register for the races! Thank you for supporting women's cycling- a sport which exposes our faces to countless hours of sun, wind and weather resulting in more skin 'character' than is timely. Juvederm smoothes wrinkles and refreshes your look. So which JSM team mate was the poster child?

| Specialized- your brand is dear to me. My first road bike was a Specialized m2 comp w down tube shifters. Before that I had a Stumpjumper which I had the opportunity to ride in exchange for dogsitting for a summer- that was possibly when my love for 2 wheels really began. As your brand has evolved I've had the opportunity to race on several of your road and TT bikes- you just keep getting better. The 2011 Amira S-works bikes you provided us were incredible!! Women's specific design built to be raced. The equipment you so generously provided us allowed us to compete with the best! And all the other Specialized bits- helmets, shoes, saddles, etc are second to none!! |

Zoom Zoom! Thanks for the amazing mazda5 team cars!! There's no question, we travelled in style... and comfort! What a luxury to have brand new, super practical team vehicles. The mazda5 seating design is brilliant: stow-away 3rd row seating and sliding side doors in a car. Clearly mazda employs some top-of-the class auto engineers. Either that or they've experienced tight parking lots and grocery store excursions that begin with 2 passengers and end up with 6!!

Eload, you fueled us for thousands and thousands of kilometers- from Arkanas to the heat wave in Philly; from Walla Walla to Sweden with many a stops in between. There were no cramps. And I now personally know how it feels to have a drink mix that does not upset my stomach!! I wonder how many Kilojoules of eload the team consumed during the season? I suspect the number would be staggering!! Thank you so very much!!

Georgie- we loved your kit although I do think that whomever the girl you use as a fit model needs to lay off the bicep curls! OK, maybe I’m just jealous I couldn’t fill out the upper arms!

| Our precious Amira’s thank you for your well designed bike racks- ready for a bike change in the flash you never let us down! |

Great cycling socks and superb compression socks- thanks for taking care of us pre, during and post race and training!
