The organizers of the United States Open Cycling Champonships announced the inaugural race will be held on Saturday, April 7, 2007. There will be a national broadcast on NBC Sports at 2:30-5:00 p.m. Course maps are posted on the US Open Cycling website. Visit www.usopencycling.com for more information.
The 112-mile professional men’s race starts in historic Williamsburg at 8:10 a.m. on Francis Street in front of the colonial powder magazine. The women’s circuit race starts at 9:00 a.m. in Richmond in front of The Library of Virginia, and will finish at about 10:15 a.m. The women will race nine laps on a challenging 3-mile circuit that shares the western section of the men’s course.
According to Frankie Andreu, a veteran pro cyclist who has started and finished twelve Tour de Frances, “The climb up Libby Hill is brutal. This race is a true test and on this course, only a real champion can win.”
This is an example of public relations because this is a press release on an up coming event in the sport of cycling. By informing the cycling fans the organizers have made it on Cycling Andrews’s “Honest Cycling List.”
