Thank you Sara Bergen for giving us much to cheer about over the years and reppin' women's cycling for BC and . You've come a long way from riding your mtn bike to school as a means of commuting from the City of Coquitlam - Municipality to BCIT: British Columbia Institute of Technology to representing Cycling Canada on the world stage, riding as a pro for Rally Cycling and Red Truck Racing, and bringing the maple leaf jersey home to BC as a national champion (just to name a few!). As you make the exit from pro cycling we wish you all the best on all the new challenges and adventures to come. . . .
