Last of the cobbles the team will see this spring with @brabantsepijlofficial today! We had the numbers in the break with @floortjemackaij, @corynrivera and myself, but unfortunately a win wasn't in the cards and Coryn sprinted to 3rd. Legs are toast after 100 km driving the breakaway, time to recover and get ready to go full gas again in the Ardennes!! ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿ’จ #BPwomen #keepchallenging

Ronde van Vlaanderen ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช A special race with an incredible atmosphere! The team was hit with some bad luck as the day unfolded, but we kept adapting and stayed focused on the future. I hit the ground pretty hard before Kanarieberg, but thankfully could get back to the race in time to keep supporting my teammates towards the finish. We ended with a strong 9th place for @lucinda_brand after a tough final! ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ #Flanders #RVV19 #UCIWWT #creatingmemories #keepchallenging

Went full sprinter mode with my helmet & glasses combo for #3daagsedepanne today ๐Ÿ˜Ž. 5th place for our little Norwegian bullet @susanneandersen in a chaotic bunch sprint. We did well to adjust our plan for the leadout after some bad luck losing numbers in the final. Send good thoughts to @lucinda_brand who took a hard fall, but is thankfully okay. The Belgian racing continues this Sunday with Gent- Wevelgem! ๐Ÿ“ธ@velofocus . . . #sprintmode #belgium #springclassics #cycling #uciwwt #creatingmemories #keepchallenging

No regrets on this last minute escape from the elements! โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™€๏ธ Basically, I should take @corynrivera 's advice and accept more spontaneity into my life - no flights, no transport, no accomodations, no problem!๐Ÿ˜‚ We are back in Belgium now with some quality hours in the legs. I'm looking forward racing the very first women's edition of #NokereKoerse tomorrow, bring on the cobbles! ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ . . . #trainingcamp #spontaneousadventure #mallorca #beachday #cycling #teamsunweb #outsideisfree #creatingmemories #keepchallenging

For #InternationalWomensday I want to give a shout out to my friend @laportelynne in Vancouver, badass business owner of @enhanced_performance along with her husband @coach_cian (who is also an amazing human being)! I first met Lynne when she traveled as my female chaperone for mountain bike races when I was a junior. We reconnected out west in Canada when I moved for University and we became good friends, spending lots of time on mountain adventures and cooking delicious and nourishing meals. Lynne's warm and open personality draws people to her, and clients quickly become friends and part of the community. She is one of the most open and non-judgmental people I've met, and encourages everyone to get the best out of themselves. Lynne inspires me to dream big, take risks, contribute to the community, and strive for balance in all parts of my life! โค . Which woman inspires you to #keepchallenging in your life? #IWD2019 ๐ŸŒธ
