Breaking news from the Local Ride Elite Women’s MTB Team: Jean Ann and Sandra were recently selected to compete in two World Cup races in Europe with the Canadian National Team! The two will jet off to Europe immediately following the Sea Otter Classic, which takes place April 17-19. The duo is excited to hit up the World Cup circuit’s most competitive races, in Offenburg, Germany, April 26, and Houffalize, Belgium, May 3. “Racing in the European World Cups is a great way for us to gain exposure and experience at the top level,” said McKirdy. “This is the kind of break we need to continue to improve and reach our goals of representing Canada at the Olympics in 2012.” Sandra will then stay on in Europe to race the high calibre Racer Cup Series #3 in Switzerland, May 9.
