Mata crushes the women's competition at La Ruta!

La Ruta de los Conquistadores 2012

Monique "Pua" Mata rode to her second consecutive stage win at La Ruta in the women's category.

"You wake up and you don't know how you feel until you get on the bike," said Mata. "Of course, I'm a little tired, but the moment I throw my leg over the bike, it could be a different story. You start at 6:00 am and there's not a ton of time to warm up, plus you're in a parking lot in San Jose, you can't really spin around. I was riding around in circles."

Pua Mata putting on a mental show!  WN has worked w/ Pua for years through highs and lows, so its great to see you crush it!  No easy ride for this gal, Pua has the ability to focus on her game

and ride away!
