Petrina has been racing her bikes for the past 14 years on pavement, the velodrome, singletrack, cyclocross, and Ironman triathlons. Her passion for sport lead to a Bachelor of Kinesiology and several coaching certifications, including a level 2 NCCP for cycling. She has coached triathletes, endurance racers, junior cyclists and swimmers, and elite riders. As a coach at the National Cycling Training and Development Centre in Calgary, she created a fun and motivating environment for the group sessions and developed athletes towards professional and Olympic success.
Petrina can often be found riding with the boys, but a weekly highlight is leading women's only rides. The social atmosphere is inviting for beginners and each session covers a handful of skills. The group is diverse from former National Team riders to beginners, and they all finish the ride with red cheeks and huge smiles!
The Cycling Centre was created with the goal of taking the social atmosphere and positive challenge of group riding indoors, giving athletes of all ages, abilities, backgrounds, and focus, an opportunity to train with guidance over the winter so they can continue to improve their speed, strength, endurance, and agility. As founder, Petrina is excited to bring these experiences to the GTA!
