The "A-Team" arrived in Altoona, PA several days ago to begin one of the best stage races held in the US.
For a long time now, this race has prided itself in the length and difficultly of it's courses, the quality and size of it's field, and the fact that they have managed to offer women an equal prize purse to the women and the men which is quite rare in the sport of cycling.
The courses here in Altoona and the surrounding counties challenge women with varied terrain as well as long tough stages of up to 98 miles in length. Climbs of 2 - 4 miles in length aren't extremely long climbs for these women, however, add on top of that miles upon miles of never ending rollers these courses become very challenging day after day.
Altoona has always attracted the top women in North America as well as many european racers. This year alone the 100+ women's field size has reigning World Champion and current US National Time Trial Champion, Kristin Armstrong, current US National Road Race Champion, Mara Abbott, current Canadian National Road Champion, Gina Grain, current Canadian National Time Trial Champion Anne Samplonius...and the list goes on and on. Bottom line, the competition is top notch.
At the end of the day it's not easy to come home with a pay check when you are battling the top women in the sport, however, knowing that the opportunity to receive equal prize money to the men is very satisfying and gives one hope that the sport is going in the right direction.
