Nature Valley Grand Prix

Shelley Wins Nature Valley Grand Prix for Peanut Butter and Co. Twenty12

The Team: Tim, Olivia, Kat, Shelley, Alisha, Kristin, Mara, Emily, Coryn, Lauren, Nicola

Alisha Says: I am currently on a two week road trip. Last week was spent in Minnesota at the Nature Valley Grand Prix cycling race. It was quite the dramatic week of racing where the team had the yellow jersey, lost the yellow jersey, and regained the yellow jersey in style during the final stage. Shelley Evans is such an amazing athlete and it is so awesome being on the same team as her.

With one road race being canceled due to severe weather (we're talking tornados here) the race came down to a time trial, THREE criteriums, and one road race. The crits were fast and hard but good practice for me.

Our host housing was great and we celebrated the win with a pizza party at one of the our host's house where they had a big brick pizza oven in their back yard. It was delicious and a great way to relax before heading to Bend, Oregon for nationals!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!
