CBTL Women’s Program
Would you like to improve your cycling in a safe, fun, friendly, social and supportive environment? The velodrome is a terrific place to learn skills, develop technique and speed in a closed, controlled environment away from the dangers of potholes, traffic and other hazards. In addition to all the fitness benefits gained, track cycling will directly improve bike handling, pedal action, sprinting and road racing skills.
The track is a great place to train for other cycling disciplines and cross-train for many other sports.
The Program: 8 week, coached program focused on introducing women to the sport of track cycling. The first two sessions will include an introduction to the track (same as our Learn to Ride the Track Clinic), and structured training for the remaining six weeks. There will also be a fun Saturday race just for this program (date TBD). The program includes the use of the CBTL’s rental track bikes.

Times: - Mondays, 6:00 until 8:00 PM

About Me
As an endurance athlete, whether you are a runner, cyclist, or multi-sport athlete, you deserve the personal attention and expert training advice that the world's best athletes receive. Sandra's goal is to provide individualized, expert coaching that helps you achieve your goals and learn more about yourself and the training process. Unlike restrictive online coaching programs, there are no limits on the number of emails and phone calls.
Sandra has worked with all levels of athletes including age groupers, high performance athletes, and developing athletes. She holds sport specific clinics and camps for groups, and works with individuals one on one to help improve skills and tactics, and to ensure you are getting the most out of training.
About Sandra:
Sandra competed at the national level in many different sports and has been an athlete all her life. Her pursuit of athletics began at a young age with involvement in hockey and freestyle skiing. She went on to compete at the National and International level in these sports.
In 1991, at the young age of 30, Sandra was diagnosed with cancer. Sandra struggled emotionally, and began running as a coping mechanism. The hours spent running helped her to manage her anger toward cancer, taught her about her own body, and her own inner strength. Cancer and running taught Sandra to take control of her health, and be responsible for managing her treatment protocol. During her battle with cancer, she became one of Canada's top marathon runners. Sandra still struggles daily with cancer, and since 2002, rheumatoid arthritis.
In 1994, Sandra ran her first competitive marathon in Portland Oregon. This would be her most memorable race ever as she not only ran cancer free, but led the race from the 10km to 40km marks. In the last 600 meters Sandra was outsprinted and lost the race by a mere 8 seconds. In total, Sandra has competed in 20 marathons, two of which she has placed second female. In addition, she has numerous top three podium finishes in races ranging from 3 km to 30km.
In 2001 and 2002, Sandra switched her focus to multi-sport where she competed at the elite level in duathlon. In 2006, Sandra won a silver medal at the World Duathlon Championships as an age grouper. Her next pursuit was triathlon and the challenge of Ironman. She is a two-time sub 11:30 hour Ironman finisher. As an avid cyclist, Sandra also competes in both road and cyclo cross.
Sandra is very passionate about sport and athlete development. She believes that being an athlete is a constant journey of striving to be the best you can be and one worth taking. If you are looking to take your athletic pursuits to the next level, Sandra would like to take that journey with you as your coach.
