50th Fitchburg Longsjo Classic
July 2 - July 5
Racers
The 50th Fitchburg Longsjo Classic is just around the corner, and we know that the racing is going to be even more exciting and competitive, and that our 50th celebrations are going to add to the experience of everyone involved.
We also realized that with the economic situation being what it is, we needed to step up our incentives a bit to make it easier for the top teams to race with us. We have enhanced our Pro-Team discount for 2009, and a few of the details are listed here:
-
Register 4 riders by May 25th and get one free
Register 6 riders by May 25th and get two free
Register the first riders online, and we’ll create manual entries for the complimentary positions.
-
If you have a past Longsjo champion on your team, current national or world champion, (any specialty, road, track, mountain, etc.) a member of the 2008 Olympic team (any specialty or nation) then that rider’s entry fee is automatically waived!
-
If one of your team directors or managers is a past Longsjo champion and is going to attend the 2009 Longsjo with the team, then we can add a bonus free registration!
-
You can switch up to 3 riders on your roster until June 10th at no charge. After June 10th there will be a $10 charge per rider.
Professional Teams
Additional Information
We are putting into place a few changes that will improve the racing experience for everyone, especially the professional teams.
-
We are working to change the TT start times of the professional men and women to earlier in the day, further improving traffic patterns.
-
We are in talks with the towns involved in the road race to allow for total rolling enclosure for the pro men and women.
-
We are hoping to create designated pro team parking areas which will create an “Athlete Village” atmosphere for spectators.
-
We have successfully negotiated a significantly lower rate at our newly remodeled host hotel, the Courtyard by Marriott, Fitchburg. If you stay Wednesday through Sunday, the rate is $89 per night. If you’re a Longsjo champion, your rate is $79 per night. Contact the hotel directly to obtain this rate. (978) 342-7100
