US Pro teams to Jacksonville

With a lull in US National racing Calendar activity this weekend, the third Annual Annual Jacksonville Cycling Classic looks to be one of the events benefiting from the lack of a big draw for US domestic pro teams. According to organizers, a good spread of North American squads will be represented including Jittery Joe's, Advantage Benefits/Endeavour, Team Jet Fuel, Team Subway, Team SeaSilver, Team Century Tel, Navigators, Snow Valley in addition to the Florida regulars of Cyclescience and JC Investors. The schedule includes qualifying races for USCF finals in the morning; a twilight criterium at the downtown Landing on the river and a road race in the country on Sunday.
