Milwaukee Race

The Tour of America’s Dairy Land, was formally established in 2009 when several Milwaukee cycling enthusiasts, among them Billy Ochowicz and Tom Schuler, came together to start what was then a five-day road cycling race.

Since then, the series has grown to 11 straight days in eleven different communities throughout Southeast Wisconsin, United States, making it the largest competitive road cycling series in the nation.
