Road race

PRIOR OLYMPICS

None

Hobson is having one of best years ever on the bike, winning a stage at the Tour of the Gila and landing atop the NRC rankings for a time. She also was third at the Montreal World Cup. Hobson, a member of the Cheerwine team, plans to retire from racing at the end of this season and return to full-time teaching. But the Olympic road race, which is on her 38th birthday, could be one of her final chances for glory.
