Cyclosportif is a European term for the recreational athlete/cyclist
who enjoys the challenge of riding a real road race course. Popular cyclosportif
events include "L'Etape du Tour" (www.letapedutour.com)
which is run on a Tour de France stage three days before the actual race
takes place.
The Cyclosportif 100K
is a beautiful yet challenging ride, open to the public and held on parts
of the same grueling race course as the Litchfield Hills stage of the
Tour of Connecticut. The event begins at 11:30 AM, on the same starting
line, and just ten minutes after the start of the Professional race.
Cyclo riders will follow the professional race route until the cutoff
points for the 30 and 60 -mile routes. Finishers
can use the area YMCA shower facilities, and then watch the final exciting
laps of of the Tour of Connecticut on the exciting Torrington city circuit..
Water stations will be available along the course, along with sag wagon support.
