On June 28, nearly 800 cyclists are expected to roll into North Central Massachusetts for the 48th Fitchburg Longsjo Classic. The race is dedicated to the memory of Arthur Longsjo, the United States first same-year dual (winter and summer) Olympian. Riders from across the United States and around the globe will compete in eight different categories for a total prize pool of US$53,500.
The racing starts with a 6.2 mile race against the clock on June 28 with the Royal Plaza Time Trial. The TT is followed on Friday with the Fitchburg State College Circuit Race, a 3.1 mile loop through the hilly streets of Fitchburg, with the pro men racing 78-miles and the pro women racing 40-miles.
