The Jello Phase is almost over, now place to tenses and grumpy muscles. This movement is impossible right now without assistance, the pool helps a lot. Little by little, a little becomes a lot. ☀️

Im already starting week 3 and it’s physically so much better. The worst is behind me. Every tiny improvement makes me very happy & I’m trying to focus on that.☺️ I’ll make rehab my new sport until I get my game back. #MentalWatts #MentalGains

Im already starting week 3 and it’s physically so much better. The worst is behind me. Every tiny improvement makes me very happy & I’ll focus on that. On the other side - I’ve been feeling like a psychotic Medusa with a nasty passive-aggressive streak lately. Going so crazy that I almost cut my own bang and hair... (Younger Laurie has been there and trust me that girl is no hairdresser) It feels like I’m missing on everything right now, so I’ll make rehab my new sport until I get my game back. #MentalWatts #MentalGains

Welllll... Sh*t happen 🤷🏼‍♀️ I had a little crash last summer which ended up with a tiny dislocation. We thought the problem would’ve been fixed with physiotherapy and exercises, but my shoulder kept being unstable. I had the Bankart surgery, which consist to re-anchoring and suturing the torn piece of cartilage to restore security and stability to the shoulder. I’ll be off a little while, the time I recover from the surgery and I’ll be back on the trainer for the rest of winter. At the moment, we don’t know when I’ll be back racing my beautiful @cannondalemountain mountain bike. This is an unknown territory for me, but I am well taking care of by my people and top health specialists. I have nothing to complain about, because I am lucky to be waking up knowing this injury will pass, it’s not chronic, it’s not life threatening. I am realistic about my rehabilitation and committed to do what’s been recommended. I am ready to greet this challenge nose to nose and to learn from it. I am absolutely heartbroken to be on the bench for the first part of the season, but I’ll fight back and I’ll be back. Set backs set up come backs. Attitude is everything in this situation and it’s the only thing I can control right now. #KnockMeDown9TimesButIGetUp10 #ThatObstacleJustMeetItsGodDamnMatch #RoadToRecoveryForReal #OnPurposeWithPurpose #GetUpAndFightAgain

Trop contente de joindre la grande famille de @bioracerspeedwear @bioracer_canada pour la saison 2020. 🚴‍♀️⚡️ #bioracerfamily #wemakeyoufaster #bioracerspeedwear

2019 was so nice! I’m thankful for the delicious food I ate, the amazing places I’ve been and the wonderful people surrounding me. ☺️❤️ I feel so lucky to be able to learn from this sport every year. PC: @velirium

Fatbiking has been our biggest training tool since three years. It makes training in Quebec so much easier with our crazy weather - I feel extremely lucky to have the privilege to be supported by @cannondalemountain to help me achieve my winter training. Thank you. 💛

Cool cool cool coool.... Let’s do this winter thing ☃️

Head in the sky, dreaming about next mtb season. 💭🍁🚵‍♀️ But first, you know what’s good for your little head? Catching your breath at the top of a climb and taking in the view with good company. Because if you’re not appreciating what you’re doing & where you are... Then what’s the point? #ILoveThisSport PC : @judjudjud 🤓

I love doing this thing. 🍂 🚴‍♀️ #OutchMesJambons #SuperSixEvo #RideCannondale

My face when I’ll reach the bottom of the first climb after my off season. This. Is. Gonna. Hurt. 😵 #OutchMesJambons PC: @e_l_gagnon

Départ vers la dernière coupe du monde de la saison. Snowshoe, US 😊 PC: @victor_verreault

Whatever fear or doubt I have inside me, my passion for this sport is stronger - Thats what kept me pushing during this race. ✨ Ended up 9th at world championships. I couldn’t asked for a better crowd, it gave me extra strength! Thank you to everyone who came. 🥰

Race mode is activated 🚴‍♀️ Starting World Championships festivities with a 5th position for team Canada in the relay.

Like the yin & yang, me and this bike are now forming a whole. 💕 ☯️ 🖤 The brand new 2020 Scalpel Si Hi-MOD World Cup, just on time for World championship. #RideCannondale #CannondaleCanada
