Favourite Country to ride in: Norway Favourite Cycling Food: Chocolate chip cookies Bio: Petrina competed in elite sports for over 15 years and has been coaching cyclists, triathletes and para athletes for over 25 years. She has won provincial road championships, a national tandem track cycling title, and competed in pro races, but watching her athletes gain confidence on the road, in their packs, and in their abilities is the best reward of all!

We could list her years of schooling, coaching certifications, time spent with national teams and world champions, but she will more likely steer you towards conversation of traveling the world by bike, finding hidden gems and bemusements on cycling adventures, and searching for the best treats with which to re-fuel. |

RYAN CORREY
LIFELONG CO-PILOT
|
On April 27th, 2018 we lost our dear friend, coach, and fearless leader Ryan to colon cancer. He was 35.
Ryan had a passion for life and adventure and had a way of pulling us all in with his energy and passion. He was modest, quiet, but the more you got to know him the louder he got! The more time you spent with Ryan, the more you were welcomed in to his heart and gifted with his humour. When Ryan was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer in August 2017 and progressed through treatments he included us in his journey with emotional updates that balanced positivity and humour, and for that we are thankful. Our love for Ryan will only grow stronger as we carry him in our hearts forever. "The further I ride, the more I learn about the world. The greater the challenge, the more I learn about myself. And the more that I interact with those around me, the more clearly I see my purpose evolving." - Ryan Correy You can learn more about Ryan's adventures at www.ryansdream.com and we encourage you to read his incredible book A Purpose Ridden. |
