Did you ride in it this year?
I just looked it up:
“The Tour of Somerville is an annual, three-day series of bicycle races held in and around Somerville, New Jersey during Memorial Day weekend. The featured Memorial Day event, the Kugler-Anderson 50-mile race for professional and elite cyclists is the oldest competitive bicycle race in the country, having first been run in 1940.[1] The event has become known as "The Kentucky Derby of Cycling" and draws international Olympians and top cyclists from around the world. It was known as predominant cycling race in America from the 1940s through the 1980s.[2” Wikipedia”

i'm a little past prime for this year?. back in the '80s though and in the cat 2/3 class. I wasn't a prime competitor though. more of an "also ran". still got the bike frame though I used. I was then hired to start shooting it for Coors and the Killians Irish Team. i have a "few" slides from those days. I live approx 5 miles from the town/course

Something strange about the original you posted as it behaved as if it has a protective (but invisible), top layer so it can’t be downloaded. So I did a screen capture and trimmed it back exactly to the edges and posted it in my response above!

Hi, Steven
Really great shot.
Carla's daughter (her eldest surviving child) lived for many years in Raritan, N.J., right next to Somerville.
Best regards,
Doug
