In
the coming season the US Cup will add two more 50-mile races to compliment the
50-miler they hosted in Big Bear this season. US Cup headliners Scott Tedro and
Ty Kady are planning to have the first two 50-mile races included in USA
Cycling’s Pro Ultra-Endurance series.

Press Release
The
US Cup is pleased to announce its 2012 event calendar.
For
next year, the US Cup will also offer an "amateur” Triple Crown series in which
CAT 1 open riders can compete in short track, super D, TT and XC events on the
weekend.
We
will also offer three fifty-mile events in conjunction with our cross country
racing for riders looking to get in more miles on the pedals. The first
two fifty mile events of the year are likely to be a part of USA Cycling’s Pro
UET series calendar, and details will be available at a later date.
