The Milligan

Volunteer for the The Milligan

It is our honor to bring you The Milligan (formerly known as The Big Hill Challenge) and to share who our fellow cyclist and friend was.


Alyssa was an avid and skilled cyclist who easily and naturally brought cyclists together. She had a huge smile and an easy way: If you met her, you were her friend. It is because of this very special gift of hers that The Milligan is now a signature event that portrays the community, family, and strength of how Alyssa lived her life.
