About Alison, from CX Magazine:
“As leader of Team Vera Bradley Foundation, Alison was the #1 ranked rider in the country in 2009, garnering five wins and 10 podiums. She is racing for Specialized for the 2010-11 cyclocross season, and finished eighth at CrossVegas against some of the top talent in the world. Prior to her cycling career, Powers competed on the World Cup circuit with the U.S. Ski Team for seven years, but a knee injury in a World Cup downhill crash in 2001 led her to eventually retire from professional skiing in 2004. After a few years training on mountain bikes, Powers took to the road, racing at the highest level, and in 2008 won the gold medal at the US National Time Trial Championships. Alison will also be hosting a Fall Women’s Cycling Camp in Asheville October 22-24 that will focus on road riding.”
