New courses for USGP

The US Gran Prix will get four new courses for 2007. The newly announced schedule will once again include six events, but four will take place in new venues. The first pair of events will take place in New Jersey, outside Trenton in the Mercer County Park in West Windsor on October 27-28, 2007. In November, the series heads south to Kentucky, where races will be held at the River Road Country Club in Louisville on November 17-18. For the finale, the USGP heads to the familiar territory of Portland, Oregon on December 1st and 2nd.

“In the last three years, the sport of cyclo-cross has grown exponentially and the US Gran Prix of cyclo-cross 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 Cyclo-cross. “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 cyclo-cross.”
