USA Cycling recently announced Wisconsin will host the amateur and para-cycling road national championships July 3 to 7 in Madison.

The five-day event will also host the nation's best juniors, and riders under the age of 23 in the U23 category, according to the USA Cycling's website.

The website didn't provide details of the course, but did confirm the dates. The event had been posted on USA Cycling's website, but no dates were available.

The national championships will come on the heels of one the largest cycling tours in the Midwest, Tour of America's Dairlyand, which is slated for June 20 to 30, according to the Tour's website.

There may be another potential scheduling impact on the national championships in Wisconsin.

If the Wisconsin Cycling Association (WCA) schedule is similar to the 2012 calendar, the state criterium championship could fall during the same time as the USA Cycling event.

In 2012, the WCA criterium was on July 7. Also, the WCA state time trial championship was July 15, which would place it about the week after the USA Cycling road championships this year.
