Annie @ Gila!

Annie took on the 2010 SRAM Tour of the Gila last week. Riding for a composite team, she made the trip to Silver City, New Mexico with fellow NorCal rider Heather Pryor. Annie and Heather flew directly to New Mexico after the Wente Road Race and spent some time training in Silver City in the days before the start of the race. Tour of the Gila is a NRC event, meaning 75 of the best female riders in the US and their teams would be competing in the race.
 
The race includes five stages and covers 264 miles, all with lots of climbing at elevation. This year the riders battled extreme weather conditions, including ferocious wind and snow flurries on the final stage! Annie finished the event on Sunday and showed her dedication to teamwork as she rode in support of Heather, who finished an impressive 13th in the final general classification for their composite team, TriSports Cycling/Eclipse Racing.

We are so proud of Annie - and we are glad to have her back in NorCal.
