Gila Stage 4: Alisha Stays 11th After Crit

Dave says: Surprise! I made a last minute decision yesterday at 3 pm and flew out of SLC at 6. It was a crazy afternoon as I turned in a final paper on the way to the airport. However, I arrived in Tucson before midnight and drove to Silver City with my grandparents in the morning.

Today Alisha raced a crit around downtown Silver City. Check out her sweet fan club that gathered at the park while she was warming up. The crit went out fast dropping over a third of the field in the first few laps. However, Alisha hung tight with the group and kept her GC spot for tomorrow's road race. Tomorrow's course is a wildcard with lots of hills where anything could happen. I'm glad I'll be there to witness the excitement.
