USGP Portland, Oregon - December 1-2 – (Hillsboro, OR)
* New venue for 2007
“In the last three years, the sport of cyclocross has grown exponentially and the US Gran Prix of Cyclocross has become the most popular and exciting race series in North America and the premier ‘cross series in the US,” said Bruce Fina, executive director, US Gran Prix of Cyclocross. “In 2007, we look forward to bringing the excitement that is the USGP to two new parts of the country -- New Jersey and Kentucky and returning to Portland, one of the true hotbeds of cyclocross.”
The series will kickoff on October 27 – 28 in West Windsor, NJ just outside the state capital of Trenton, in Mercer County Park. The second stop will be Louisville, Kentucky at River Road Country Club on November 17-18. The series will again return to Portland, Oregon December 1-2 for the fourth consecutive year.
Although some of the venues will be different, spectators can still expect the top ‘cross riders, great competition and racing action. "
One of the founding tenets of USGP is to bring together all of the best riders -- elite and espoir men, women and juniors -- so they can go head-to-head. It's crucial, both nationally and internationally, for USGP to serve as the premier series for this competition. With our new schedule and venues, the 2007 USGP will continue to fuel the growth we are seeing in American cyclocross," Geoff Proctor, USGP Technical Director.
