Former Canadian champion Karol-Ann Canuel (SD Worx) admits she doesn’t know what is next for her after ending her professional cycling career in September. 

“A lot of people have been asking me ‘what are you going to do now that you are retired from professional cycling?’ and the truth is that right now I don’t know, and I think that’s okay,” Canuel wrote in a blog for Cycling Canada.
