This is a series of six road races sprinkled throughout the United States giving the riders with the best overall record a chance to compete with the pros and in front of huge crowds in the Nature Valley Grand Prix held in June. More importantly, it gives riders the chance to get noticed by pro team managers and potentially receive a pro contract. Amateur riders will be selected from a series of six races (Cherry Blossom Cycling Classic included) sprinkled throughout the United States with the overall leaders selected to ride among the best. The Nature Valley Grand Prix has emerged as the top women’s bike racing event and one of the top men’s races in the U.S. since its inception 11 years ago.
