Breakaway Event Productions on Monday announced that the Elgin Cycling Classic will be a part of Superweek in 2009 on Sunday, July 12.

Breakaway’s Michael Garrison says the 5.5-mile course, including hills along the Fox River, is identical to the Four Bridges of Elgin course that was a UCI event before it was discontinued in 2003. (Here’s Cyclingnews coverage of the 2003 edition.) Four Bridges was always a showcase for espoir talent, and Superweek will continue that legacy with special prizes for the top U23 riders in the P/1/2 field.

Garrison also says a full Superweek schedule is imminent, and he reports that he is working out traffic issues for a possible return to the Milwaukee lakefront, where construction has precluded racing since 2005.
