On Friday, July 9, 2010, the Beverly Hills Cycling Classic -- the first leg of the 17-day International Cycling Classic Superweek Pro Tour -- returns to Beverly Hills/Morgan Park, bringing the thrill of professional bike racing back to the city. More than 125 professional and elite amateur cyclists will compete in the 100K criterium through the hilly and historic southwest side neighborhood.
The Beverly Hills Cycling Classic is the first race in the 37th annual International Pro-Am Cycling Classic, a National Racing Calendar event run under the rules of the U.S. Cycling Federation. Professional and elite amateur cyclists from Europe and the United States participated, riding 62 miles in a circuit between Longwood Drive and Seeley Avenue – about 50 circuits in all.
