"Awesome job, Conyers is so happy. I am glad that at least one of the Caribbean countries came and supported this race," commented Alicia Thompson, president of the Belize Cycling Federation. "And then you won! We have a small field here, but it was an awesome day for cycling in Belize, and we are so grateful that a Caribbean country not only came but won!"

Early in the race, Conyers attacked and got away solo, unfortunately, she suffered a flat tire and had to watch the peloton catch her and pass by. After receiving assistance from the support team of the 4th place finisher from Belize, Conyers chased for at least 20 miles to get back in with the peloton.
