For only the second time in a storied history dating back to 1940, the Tour of Somerville bicycle races will not be held this Memorial Day weekend.
World War II stopped it first, now an international conflict of a different kind, the Covid-19 pandemic, will put the brakes on America’s oldest competitive cycling event until next year.
Despite the setback, race organizers say that this year’s sponsors have committed to 2021 and plans are already underway to resume competitive racing as well as a first-ever Gran Fondo ride; a 40-plus mile recreational ride through Somerset County open to all area residents. Additional weekend races are also being planned for several neighboring communities.
