The Tour of Somerville

A Memorial Day Classic

1940- 2015

The Tour of Somerville was Founded by Professional Bike Racer and bike shop owner Fred “Pop” Kugler in 1940.

The Tour of Somerville is known as the “Kentucky Derby of Cycling.”The Tour is the oldest major bicycle race in the United States and a legend in the lore of bicycle racing.

Kugler’s son, Furman won the inaugural Tour of Somerville in 1940 and in 1941

World War II inevitably suspended the Tour from 1943-1946. When resuming the tour in 1947 the Senior Men’s race was officially renamed the Kugler-Anderson Memorial in honor of the past winners that died for their country.

Year after year the Tour of Somerville grew and the very first women’s race was instated in 1976. The Race was Won by Mary Jane Reoch, from Philadelphia.

Professional Athletes from all over the world came to race in the Tour of Somerville, including Olympic Gold Medalist Eric Heiden.
