GC Chattanooga Cycling Race This Weekend!

This weekend the Georgia Cup Chattanooga Cycling race is coming to town. I know that having a Georgia Cup race in Chattanooga, TN doesn't make much sense, but hey, Chattanooga is pretty close to Georgia!

Anyway, the race will consist of three events, a time trial Saturday morning in Apison, a criterium in downtown Chattanooga, and a road race in Mountain Cove Farms. Without a doubt, the most interesting of the three races to watch will be the downtown criterium. It's like watching a Nascar race, except that the racers are a lot more fit and the crashes are a lot more painful, believe me! The downtown criterium races will kick off at 2:15 p.m. and the ProAm race will start at 6:30 p.m.

The next day, the racers will finish the race weekend with the longest race of the weekend. The lower categories will race for 48 miles, while the pro's will race for 68 miles. This race will take place in the beautiful area called Mountain Cove Farms. It's about 30 miles south of Chattanooga and is definitely a place worth visiting. The road races will start at 9:00 a.m. and most races should be done by 11:30 - 12:00.
