After three weeks of training I`m now ready to race on my mountain bike again. I`ve just finished Tour de Feminin Bretage on the road, four days with five stages. The plan with this race was to give me good training, not to think about the results and have the second half of the season in my mind.

I was riding together with the U23 norwegian national team, that means I was the old woman in the group. This is a young talented team with great girls who have the future in front of them.

It`s good to see new girls growing up and how much they want to learn to become professionals. I had a great time in France with the girls so I hope that my mountain bike schedule allow me to do more road races together with them some other time.

Canada

I arrived noon monday from France and had like sixteen hours back home to unpack for the Canadian World Cups. Just enough time for change of bike and clothing, I`m ready for my Specialized kit again. Tuesday morning I was already on my flight to Canada where fifth and sixth round of the World Cups are held. First Mont St Anne and then Bromont, both familiar courses for me. I guess my legs will feel a little bit heavy now because of my training the last weeks, But I know I `ve done good training so I can focusing on resting and recover between the races.

Greetings from Canada!
