Elyse Nieuwold (25) is\u00a0the 2016 and 2017 Canadian Marathon XC Champion and has turned her attention to the shorter\u00a0(90 minute)\u00a0cross-country\u00a0racing format, but still plans to defend her marathon title. \u00a0Elyse recently moved to Kamloops after completing her\u00a0Masters in\u00a0Physiotherapy and works as a Physio at\u00a0Lifemark when not racing and training!<\/p>\n

The Team have had four races so far this season, with impressive results at each! On ‘home turf’ in Canada, Holden started the season with a win at the\u00a0Bear Mountain Canada Cup in Victoria, BC. This put him in the lead of not only the Canada Cup Series, but the UCI (union cycliste internationale) Junior race series.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Across the border, the team fought hard to represent Canada at the US Cup #1 and #2 in California, and the Whiskey 50 Marathon in Arizona.<\/p>\n

Battling extreme heat and unfamiliar dusty terrain, Holden managed to take an early lead and hold it for a win in US Cup #1, before a mechanical took him out of contention for race number two in Bonelli, California.<\/p>\n

Emily and Elyse battled with the heat at US Cup #1 in Fontana, but pulled out finishes in the low 20’s in a world-class field. The more rugged terrain of US Cup #2 in Bonelli suited the girls’ technical expertise, and Elyse clinched a 12th place finish!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Elyse jumped at the opportunity to race in the national champions jersey at the Whiskey 50 marathon race in Prescott, Arizona.\u00a0 Fifty miles made for a big day in the saddle, but fierce competition kept the racing tight until the very end, where Elyse took 7th<\/sup>\u00a0in\u00a0a sprint for the line!<\/p>\n

\n

The Pendrel Racing team will be riding in IXS Sports helmets<\/a> for training and racing this season, and will be using Crankbrothers pedals<\/a> to stay in control and at the head of the pack. You can cheer on Pendrel Racing at Canada Cup #2 in Baie Saint Paul, QC on May 20th, and Canada Cup #3 at Mont Tremblant, QC on May 26th!<\/p>\n
