The folks of Bicycles Inc and The Racing Post did a fantastic job in putting this ride in Copperas Cove, Texas together in memory of Megan Baab.

A memorial bike race attracted around 500 people to the city last Saturday in memory of a fallen cyclist.

More than 300 racers took part in the local cycling competition, renamed the Megan Baab Memorial Road Race to honor the former participant who was killed last year while training in North Carolina.

“She was everybody’s sister,” said Andy Hollinger, secretary for Team Bicycles Inc. “She started on my team, and there was no drama with her. She was an incredible woman and athlete, and we did this in her honor.”

Many people involved with organizing the race also were familiar with Baab, including Betty Price, president of the Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce.

“I see a lot of these folks twice a year, and I didn’t realize I knew this girl and her father,” said Price. “Two years ago, I remember her being here at these races. When I did realize who Megan and her father were, it was traumatic even for me.”

About the Race:

The toughest race in south Texas

It is time for the Eleventh annual Coldspring race, this time sponsored by Medical Colleagues of Texas.

This race features a 16 mile loop which riders get to do multiple times during the race. As you can see from the race profile three or so miles of the loop is quite hilly and will help to separate the fields into those ready for the hills and those who need more training. the finish line is at the top of a hill and favors the climbers rather than sprinters.
