Altitude 9000 Race, Mammoth, California 1993

Guess why they call this the Altitude 9000 race?  The 48 miles race has over 5000 feet of climbing that starts from the town of Bishop and finishes at the Mammoth Ski Resort.  Altitude 9000 is only one of 5 races in the 4-day Mammoth Stage Race.  Most of the races were at altitude and for some reason, Maura was never bothered by the altitude at all.  In the picture above, guess who was leading the women's pack in that pink helmet up Sherman Grade to Mammoth?
