Trek Canada announces 2011 team

Glassford, Batty and Morka to be joined by two newcomers this season

The 2011 Trek Canada mountain bike squad was announced Monday in association with Toronto’s Trek Bicycle Store. Three riders are back for the upcoming season and two new faces have joined the squad. For 2011, the team has resigned Peter Glassford, Eric Batty and Adam Morka while new development additions are two of Canada’s top U-23 athletes, Cayley Brooks and Mitch Bailey, who both attended the UCI Cross Country World Championships in 2010.

The team’s focus will be a blend of global events, starting March 31st in Southern California for the first US Pro XCT followed in April with the legendary Sea Otter Classic.

“I am excited to keep growing with Trek for 2011,” said Glassford, who is training in California. “The guys are so close that we have a great opportunity to push each other and also work together as the sport becomes more tactical. I can’t wait to get on the line again in March.”

Trek Canada raced in Canada Cups, US Cups, World Cups and the World Championships last year, while also competing in community events such as the Offroad Squeezer in St. Catharines and many weekly series events. You can follow the team’s blog at www.trekraceteam.com

Barry Near, owner of Trek Bicycle Store of Toronto said “We are the evolving program that Emily Batty signed on with back in 2007, she has now achieved a level of greatness to jump up too Subaru-Trek in 2011. Trek is giving these up and coming athletes that same opportunity, and they give back huge. Their on and off the bike personalities are showing true commitment to the sport, and you will likely see a whole lot more of the Trek Canada Team in 2011.”
