International Cycling Classic Visits the Bay
The last leg of the two-week regional bike race wrapped up Sunday on the streets of Whitefish Bay.
The Point Premium Root Beer International Cycling Classic began as a single race at Milwaukee's Summerfest in 1969 and quickly expanded into a successful week-long racing series in the Milwaukee metropolitan area under the name Superweek. In 1985, Superweek added several races in cities to the north of Milwaukee, venues which had been part of the recently-ended "Milk Race" series. This expansion brought about the two-week racing format which the Point Premium Root Beer International Cycling Classic maintains to this day.
