The weekend will draw collegiate cycling teams from over fifty colleges and universities in the Northeast to the New Brunswick area. An estimated five hundred racers will compete in three events over two days, each racing for points to qualify their respective teams for the Collegiate National Championships to be held in Kansas in May 2007.

Following the time trial on Saturday morning, racing will move in the afternoon to the Livingston campus of Rutgers University where racers will compete in a criterium, a race over a short course emphasizing technical skill and explosive power. A new course for 2007, this course has been to home to the Watermelon Criterium for years, and it has showcased former ProTour riders like Henk Vogels and Olympian Marty Nothstein.
On Sunday morning, racing resumes with the circuit race on the Livingston campus of Rutgers University. Racers will test their endurance as they complete laps on this 2.2 mile course with technical corners, long climbs, and killer headwinds.
