Menomonie Road Race - June 19

In 2010, the Nature Valley Bicycle Festival will venture outside the land of 10,000 lakes for the first time in its history as we head to Menomonie, Wisconsin for the 5th Stage of the Nature Valley Grand Prix.

Finishing with several circuits inside the city, the course will take in the challenging rural county roads outside the city that have been a favorite with cyclists of the upper Midwest for years. The men’s road race consists of 95 miles, marked by rolling hills and long climbs that are sure to impact the standings for the entire Nature Valley Grand Prix. Meanwhile, the women will cover a 76 mile course that follows the same beginning and ending roadways.

Menomonie will also play host to amateur racing, lots of fun family activities, and a community bike ride that will take in several viewing spots of the race ahead of the pros. 

Wheaties FUEL Sports Tip: the rolling hills will favor the more powerful riders over the sprinters and a small group could breakaway from the peloton and take the win
