the Tour of Somerville in my home state of New Jersey. We are very
proud to provide sponsorship for a race of this caliber. It's a race

music and family-fun activities. On Monday, the professional ladies
will toe the line, keeping their eyes on the prize in the 20 mile
criterium race. In addition to cash winnings, each cyclist hopes to be
