Light Rain, Winds Forecast For Oregon Opener

Oregon roadies itching to stretch their legs at the Cherry Pie Road Race Sunday can expect some typically Oregon spring weather. Local forecasts paint the perfect picture of a Belgianesque spring classic.

"Light rain and wind early...then remaining cloudy with showers in the afternoon. High 46F. ENE winds at 15 to 25 mph, diminishing to 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent."

USGP Portland Cup Day 2 Weather Report

What a difference a day makes.

While Saturday's Crank Brothers US Gran Prix of Cyclocross was contested under sunny skies and near 50 degrees, Sunday's outlook looks a bit different. Rain moving in from the northwest should be dumping on Portland International Raceway just in time to completely change the character of the course.

Saturday was fast and furious. Sunday could well be the slopfest the pros expect when they come to the Pacific Northwest in December.

See you there!
