Nature Valley Grand Prix

The first stage of the Nature Valley Grand Prix will start on Wednesday, June 11. Things are gearing up, and the women's field is full (150 riders). This will be the biggest race I attend all year. I was going over the pre-registered riders. Looks like there will be some stiff competition. Kristin Armstrong, Webcor (squad of 6), Aaron's (squad of 7), Cheerwine (squad of 7 including Kelly Benjamin and Laura Van Gilder), and Colavita (squad of 8 including Tina Pic) are all signed up. This will be my first stage race, so I really have no idea what to expect. The Ryan Collegiate All-Stars program is awesome though. We have a super strong team, and I'm excited to race with them. Check out the website for more information. There's also a press release here. That's all I have right now. I was just bored, and maybe starting to get the pre-race jitters, so I thought I'd write a post. Heading to Tour de Winghaven this Sunday. Should be a good time!
