Alma Grand Prix of Cyclocross (September 6) in Michigan

The Alma Grand Prix of Cyclocross will kick off the 2014 'cross calendar on Saturday, September 6 in Michigan. This race will be part of the Tailwind series of races, which are professionally timed and USAC-sanctioned events. This year the race has moved from Ithaca to Alma (hence the Alma GP) but you may remember seeing the world famous Ithaca GP umbrella at the world championships in Louisville...

@TheAlmaGP

The course is currently under construction as we're in the process of reclaiming city land that hasn't been used in 20+ years. The venue was formerly an airport (closed in the early 1960's) before it served as the city's compost dumping grounds. The terrain is varied and the course is coming together nicely. Spy photos are up on the Facebook page; detailed race information is on the website.
