Hammer Nutrition MGA Proving Grounds Road Race
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
Lyons, Wisconsin
The Hammer Nutrition MGA Proving Grounds Road Race begins with a neutral rollout on the MGA Proving Grounds track and then launches into a 9-mile loop over the rolling hills of the neighboring area. The terrain and the many curves and turns on the course work in favor of attacks which can more easily roll out of sight of the peloton. The race returns to the Proving Grounds for a half-lap on the track leading to the Start/Finish line.
