Photos, Videos and Recap Story by NathanYoung at www.geekalabama.com
S
aturday was the annual Noble Street
Festival and Sunny King Criterium in
downtown Anniston. Yes, it was a very
cold day with a cold wind, but many people
still came out! So let’s get things started
with a wedding proposal! In between the
women’s and men’s pro races, Fredd Matute proposed to his girlfriend Holly Horner.
And she said yes! Here is video of this sweet
moment!
And now onto the big races. In the women’s
pro race, 54 women
battled to see who
won. Team United
Healthcare had a
very good showing
with Hannah Barnes
winning the crown
with teammate Coryn Rivera finishing
second. Erica Allar
from Colavita/Bianchi finished third.
The Finish times
were just over one
hour with the winning time at 1:00:04.
During the men’s pro race, around 125 cyclists raced under the cold Anniston skies. It
was so cold there were heaters for the spectators at the start/finish line. Early on, seven
riders broke away from the main pack, and
at around the halfway point, the seven man
group lapped the entire field. After everything was over, Tyler Magner from Hincapie
Racing pulled off an upset and ended the
dominance from United Healthcare. The
amazing thing is Tyler lives in Georgia and
has family from here in Calhoun County. So
