12-4-2010 Georgia Cup 2011 From the Georgia Cup:
Spincycle Sports Marketing’s Georgia Cup race series, now entering
its 10th year, has risen to the top as one of the nation’s largest
race series put on by a single promoter. 2011 will prove to offer
substantial growth once again, with the inclusion of other events in
addition to the eight race weekends offered, including the
penultimate six-stage Tour of Atlanta. The Atlanta Weekday Criterium
Series will take place on Wednesday nights this spring and summer.
There will also be a winter training time trial series running each
Saturday in January and two Saturdays in February. The group will
also branch out into the hot new Grand Fondo arena, offering four of
these events over the course of the summer and fall. A running

Cup Health and Wellness Series. Champion System, manufacturers of
high quality sports apparel, has signed on to be the official
clothing sponsor for 2011. Champion System’s product line can be
found at www.champ-sys.com. “We are excited about Champion System
coming on board this year and providing top quality leaders’ jerseys
to the Georgia Cup. Their custom program is phenomenal in that you
can start an order with a minimum of ten pieces with an unlimited
amount of color selections. Most companies I’ve dealt with in the
past would never touch that,” commented Brady Rogers, Promotions and
Marketing Director for Spincycle. Also jumping into the “mix” with
the Georgia Cup this year will be MIX 1, www.mix1life.com . “Most
athletes from seasoned professionals to weekend warriors understand
how much they need to train in order to achieve their goals. Proper
nutrition, along with training, can drastically improve physical
performance and take an athlete to the next level. There are many
sports nutrition products claiming to deliver amazing benefits that
in reality fall short due to compromised or inadequate levels of
ingredients. This is how I came up with the idea for MIX 1,” states
MIX 1 founder Dr. James, ND. Follow the Georgia cup at
www.georgiacup.com, on Facebook at Georgia Cup and on Twitter @georgiacup.

Southern Cross From 55 Nine: What is Southern Cross? Southern
Cross is an epic cyclocross race based in the Chattahoochee National
Forest of north Georgia. In the same vein as the The Three Peaks
Challenge and Iron Cross, the course will consist of a "traditional"
cross course with twists, turns, run-ups & barriers. Then
participants will head out on either a 30 or 50 mile loop of dirt
and paved roads featuring mountain top vistas, rolling rivers and
tumbling creeks. Finally the course finishes with another CX course
with features that the UCI would not approve like the Wall!

12-21-2010 Rome CX News Rome Winter CX From Bob Kuhn: I
should have the riders guide out in the next day or two which will
have most all information about the races. We are going to have pint
glasses for sale but we only ordered around 50-75 and they should be
going for $10 each. No T-shirts unless folks want to pre-order and
we mail them in February. Trey has informed me that there will be
child care at the races sponsored by a youth group trying to earn
money for a ski trip, so tips would be nice for them. nestTrey has
had a number of people already working on the course and David Heath
(who's farm we used last year) has been our go to guy on course
design and preparation. He has been fabulous. Also note that the
race times/categories are different from GA CX races. We are working
on a end of the season party at Cycle Therapy after the last race on
the 23rd.
