My good friend John Eustice, two-time US Pro Champion and the race organizer brings a European flavor to a terrific weekend of America cycling. Friday we’ll start with a peaceful midday ride in Bucks County and then check into the race hotel. Saturday offers a very special the 100k Cyclosportif ( For more on Cyclosportif ) on much of the same course the Pros will tackle a few hours later in the 107 mile Univest Grand Prix. The Cyclosportif is a hybrid between a ride like the Golden Apple and a professional road race, you will be timed and cheered on by local fans along the course.  We’ll have special VIP access to watch the pros finish later in the day. Sunday we’ll head to Doylestown, a beautiful town for a morning spin. Midday we’ll watch the pros again in the fast Univest Grand Prix Criterium.
