BROOKFIELD, WI, June 4, 2010 ‐ The Brookfield Convention and Visitors Bureau is proud to announce
that the Point Premium Root Beer International Cycling Classic will be racing through Brookfield on July
16, 2010. The International Cycling Classic is the oldest and longest‐running multi‐category cycling race
in the world with races in cities from De Pere in Northern Wisconsin to Chicago. Past riders of this
historic race include Lance Armstrong, Levi Leipheimer, Bobby Julich, Fred Rodriguez, Chris Horner, Gord
Fraser, and Mark McCormack! The race will be located at the Civic Square on Calhoun Rd so there will
be plenty of good seats and parking.
Once the race begins spectators will see speeds up to 40 mph! The course is approximately one mile
long. Spectators can stand inches away from the racers near the Start/Finish line or bring a blanket and
find a comfortable spot elsewhere on the course. In addition to the race, there will be plenty of food,
market vendors, and unlimited family fun! For information on the Point Premium Root Beer
