Fitchburg/Longsjo and Nevada City come to mind as old but I have no idea
when they started - 1960
>maybe?
I rode the first Fitchburg/Longsjo Memorial race, I would have to check my scrapbook, in 1963 or 1964. Johnny Phillips, Bobby's father, told us the story of Art Longsjo and how he was one of the country's top racers. I believe he said Art died of injuries sustained in an automobile wreck while trying to swat a bee that was in his car and lost control of the vehicle. Somerville, NJ is a good bit older than that, but not sure when it started. They still hold the Somerville race every Memorial weekend. Raced in Flemington and Hackensack, NJ in that time period and those races had been around a while.
Got a 27 ride in yesterday on the West Viginia Scenic Highway. Not much flat and lots of climbing. Riding the Medici with a triple.
