East Troy, Wis. - Thanks to agreements signed Jan. 11 by the East Troy Area Chamber of Commerce, the Dennis and Janice Klumb Family Foundation, Inc. and the Midwest Cycling Series, LLC, the East Troy Cycling Classic will turn East Troy’s historic square into a professional cycling venue on Friday, June 22, 2012.
The event is part of the 11-day Tour of America’s Dairyland, set for June 21 – July 1 in 11 Wisconsin communities.
“We partnered with the Chamber to bring this event to East Troy because we want to showcase our hometown and provide a new, exciting venue for the race utilizing our historic village square,” Janice Klumb said.
The East Troy race course will take riders around the village square onto neighborhood streets in the half-mile course. The short course will provide constant action for spectators throughout the eight hours of continuous, high energy professional cycling.
