In June the Wisconsin Cycling Series promoted two well-received races in Grafton and Sheboygan. Now it is expanding and renaming itself the Midwest Cycling Series, opening the door to races outside of Wisconsin. The new organization includes former 7-Eleven rider and Olympian Tom Schuler of Team Sports, which manages the Team Advil-Chapstick and Team Type 1 pro cycling teams and organizes the 24 Hours of Nine Mile Mountain Bike Race. Might this become a competitor to Superweek?

Speaking of Superweek, Breakaway Event Productions today announced its 2009 dates: July 9 through July 26. Yes, that’s a Thursday. Andy Garrison tells me the extra day will be an evening P/1/2 event.
