Stage 7 - The Final Day of racing in Altoona always comes down to the Altoona Downtown Criterium. Intermediate Sprints for time bonus and Sprint Jersey points always keep the race fast and interesting. With few lulls in the race the fast pace and constant accelerations would prove too much for many of the racers. At the end of the day it was a mad dash to the line with Laura Van Guilder once again taking top honors. Aaron's Kat Carroll would be the team's best finisher in 9th.
"This was definitely the most aggressive and hardest Tour de Toona I've ever seen. It's really evident that the depth of women's racing just continues to get better and better."
At the end of every Tour de Toona a special photograph is taken with long time race promotor Rick Geist. It's an honor to make it into the "Top Ten" photo each year and it's not and easy thing to do for sure. This year the "A-Team" placed two of it's riders into the top ten which is a great accomplishment for a second year team.

HEY "A" team,
See your ALL really rolling & "Getting after it!" in July!
Great photos.
I'm on the countdown to my two "Technology-free" weeks vacation in the
Grand Canyon. Carmen seems you survived that long drive thru Sconnie
after the end of NVGP to Grandmother's House! Good luck to you ALL as
you head into the new month!
