A Tradition in Bicycle Racing Since 1940!
The Tour of Somerville Cycling Series is an exciting four-day event of competitive cycling for professionals and amateurs over Memorial Day weekend. The event culminates on Monday with the 50-mile Kugler-Anderson Memorial Tour of Somerville, known as the "Kentucky Derby of Cycling." The Tour is the oldest major bicycle race in the United States and a legend in the lore of bicycle racing.
Saturday's Frank "Nap" Torpey Memorial "Hills of Somerset County" bicycle race is in its 15th year and would not be possible without the cooperation of the New Jersey State Police, the Somerset County Sheriff Department, and the Somerset Park Commission. The 77 mile race will travel through 13 towns on County and local roads.
Park yourself, your friends and your family on the downtown curbs to watch the incredibly fast action, or stroll around enjoying the vendors, live music, kids’ activities, the food stands and the entertainment while the races take place around you. Free admission allows spectators to view all of the races.
