2009 Mayor's Race Brief

After ROME everyone was hoping for some good weather in Union City and boy did we get it! Clear and 65 - Perfect. The 5th Annual Union City Mayor's Race did not disappoint. The Mayor and City Council were at the CRIT to cheer and marvel at what it must take to do the things bike racers do. You would have to be vision impaired to miss the HUGE support the city gives the race. The CRIT had over 20 Fire & Rescue personal and the Police where there protecting the turns. The RR was spectacular, lead Police for every field and Police at every turn - and there were a lot of turns. They even had Fire Engines out on the course blocking traffic.

The Georgia Cup really appreciates everyone that came to support this event, cleaned up after themselves and to those who took the time to thank the Union City officials. We feel confident that we all will be invited back next year.

Also, thank you to everyone that was patient and poised!

2009 ROME "THE CITY OF TREES & ETHICS" - RACE BRIEF

It was WET & COLD but the show went on..... Overall the first GC Omnium was very successful under the tough conditions. Thank you to everyone that came out to race and support the Georgia Cup. We hope you noticed a few changes this year - Race Staff 1st on site, Registration up and running and quick, Time Trial results out instantly, Crit results out instantly, RR results out quick (the MTN finish hindered us a bit), Overall Results with Awards processed and executed efficiently and MUCH more to be excited about. Hope everyone enjoyed the NEW custom race awards and the NEW custom 'Glass Plaques'!

Thank you for braving the cold and the rain to be a part of history. The FIRST ever GCTT!

Even with the Rain and less than ideal conditions Registration was a snap and Results were accurate and posted within minutes of the finish! Expect the same from all GC events in 2009.

We appreciate the support of all of our bike shops and most importantly - All3Sports and Atlanta Cycling.

Tony Myers and ATS with all their volunteers are great. Be sure to visit Tony with any coaching needs. He is really one of the best in the Biz.
