Alisha Welsh

Alisha Welsh returns to TWENTY12 in her second year racing at the pro level. Welsh is a climber who excels when the road turns upward. In her first season of competitive racing she made it on the podium of Stage 1 of the 2009 Tour of the Gila only a week after getting her Cat 2 upgrade. In 2010, she helped the team ride to overall victories in some of the nation's toughest climbing events including the Tour of the Gila and the Cascade Classic. Alisha fell in love with cycling after a successful collegiate career as a distance runner. She holds several high school and college running records and coaches a high school cross country team.
