Tour of the Battenkill Announces Schedule

For the 9th year in a row, America’s toughest road cycling race will take place just outside of Albany, in Cambridge, NY. This year’s event will take place April 12-14. If you’ve never been to a road race, this is the one to go to first. There’s tons of vendors and all sorts of things happening on the finishing strip and it’s crazy to see how fast these dudes actually go for 100 or 200km at a time. Also, you have to hit a few of the crazy climbs to see everyone suffering up the hills.
