Anna Young and Kristin Wentworth traveled to Toronto for two UCI C1 events. Conditions were Belgium like - cool, windy, and muddy with occasional rain. Saturday's race saw riders navigate a wet, muddy course with several short steep greasy hills. Despite a spectacular crash in a muddy ditch Kristin finished third and Anna a strong sixth.

Sunday's course was completely different and traversed a ski hill with several switchback climbs and descents. Less wet but still muddy the course proved challenging to all riders. Kristin was able to improve from Saturday's race to finish second with Anna riding well and keeping her sixth place.

There was an overall competition for the weekend's races as well and Kristin took second there with Anna in seventh. It was a great weekend for Planet Bike's Elite Womens team!
