Pedal power: Saskatoon cyclist racks up 734 kilometres in a day
Saskatoon cyclist Meaghan Hackinen has clocked many hours on her road bike in Saskatchewan, but she’s always wondered how far she could go in a 24-hour period.
The 33-year old found out last month when she participated in the 24 Hour World Time Trial Championships in California.
She racked up 733.8 kilometres — about the distance from Saskatoon to Banff, Alta. She and another woman broke the course record.
Hackinen, who was born and raised in Surrey, B.C., said she didn’t expect to make it so far when she started the ride at 5 p.m. on Oct. 26.
