February 03, 2017 – We’d like you to get to know Fluevog’s Crit Nasty Girls as we have just unveiled our 2017 roster including Jen Gerth, Sarah Coney, Rachel Canning, Joanie Caron, Lisa Howard, Helena Coney, Claire Cameron, Anne Oulette and Kelsey MacDonald. Check them out…

Jennifer
Sorry, the face of this Angel took a hit. It’s okay, Jen’s just fine. Got up and dusted herself off after a spill. Some stitches and some rest and she was good as new. She’s tough as nails. A crit racer for 13 years. A Black Belt in Karate. A mother of two cats. A Fluevog addict. A computer nerd. An instigator and a finisher. Watch her.

The Coney Sisters

Sisters from a cycling dynasty. Their Mom races bikes. Their Dad too. If it’s a bike, a Coney can ride the wheels off it. Sarah is one of North America’s top Crit sprinters. She’s wiley. Quick. Powerful. Off the bike, Sarah is a charmer with style. A crazy weirdo who can’t stop smiling. You’ll love her. Everyone does.

Helena is back at racing after some time off. She’s a tough woman for sure, but she can’t hide that Coney smile.

Claire

Claire has biked in more countries than you have ever visited. She does nothing slowly. Whether it’s racing or touring, you’ll miss her if you blink. We’re thrilled that Claire has decided to let us keep up.

Rachel

Some folks say if you want to be good at racing bikes, race in Belgium. So Rachel does quite a bit of that. And guess what? Rachel is good at racing bikes. She stays true to her roots too. Rachel has likely coached, taught and mentored more cyclists than anyone else in BC. If you ask to see her tattoo, you will see it. Fair warning.

Joanie

When we found out Joanie would be a Crit Nasty girl in 2017 we were all like…whoah. For real. Joanie is quite simply the best bike rider you will meet this year. Olympian. National Champion. Legend*.
*Joanie wanted us to say “on the dance floor”

Mama Howard

Mama Howard doesn’t race so much these days, but she keeps us cubs in line. But: she’s forgotten more about racing than most will ever know. It’s a good thing she’s willing to share her knowledge. Not just with us either. Lisa runs our Young Women’s Cycling camp, a program that makes bike racing accessible to new women riders, and has produced an Olympic medallist.

Anne

This is Anne and her pet goat. Okay, not her goat. But she’d have one if she could. For inspiration maybe. Anne is the mountain goat of our team. A great climber and a true athlete.

Kelsey

We drag Kelsey off her mountain bike to race with us during BC Superweek and other local races. Sure, she’s good at riding dirty…mountain bikes…but Kelsey can also rip up the road.

# 1 Fans

The girls wouldn’t be anywhere without their fans. Huge thanks to those who have been there since day one: Continental Repairs, Speed Theory, Cervelo, Champion System, POC, Born, Green Theory Distributors – and our newest crush John Fluevog.
