Cyclosportif event to mirror the Univest Grand Prix

Cyclosportif riders will be able to ride part of the Pennsylvania course ridden by the pros in the Univest Grand Prix on September 9, Univest GP organisers announced yesterday. The event begins three hours before the start of the pro men's race. Riders can choose between a 40 or a 60-mile course.

Cyclosportif is a European term for the recreational cyclist who enjoys the challenge of riding a road racing course. Popular cyclosportif events include 'L'Etape du Tour', which runs on a Tour de France stage three days before the Tour stage.
