Course Information:

The Rides:

Gran Fondo:

The Tour of the Battenkill Gran Fondo is a 75-mile mass-start event for riders wanting a challenging, scenic, and competitive race. Riders are grouped by ability at the starting line and begin simultaneously at 9:15 a.m. with a neutral roll out. The first 5 miles will feature a full police escort and rolling road closure. After that, the roads will be open to the public, but traffic is very sparse. Course marshals will be stationed at all critical intersections. Neutral service is dedicated with cars and/or motorcycles. Sag wagons are also provided for riders not able to complete the course.

Medio Fondo:

The Tour of the Battenkill Medio Fondo is a 40-mile mass-start event for riders wanting a challenging, scenic, and competitive race. Riders are grouped by ability at the starting line and begin simultaneously at 8:00 a.m. with a neutral roll out. The first 7 miles will feature a full police escort and rolling road closure. After that, the roads will be open to the public, but traffic is very sparse. Course marshals will be stationed at all critical intersections. Neutral service is dedicated with cars and/or motorcycles. Sag wagons are also provided for riders not able to complete the course.

Piccolo Fondo:

This year we will be offering a 26 mile “Piccolo” Fondo. This course still offers the famous Meeting House Rd dirt section and incredible views of Washington County. Make no mistake, it’s no walk in the park, but this distance allows a taste of the Tour of the Battenkill for riders whose legs aren’t in mid-season form or the casual weekend warrior.

Directions:

Parking for cyclists and spectators is FREE and will be adjacent to the Start/Finish at the Washington County Fairgrounds, 392 Old Schuylerville Rd, Greenwich, NY 12834. The entrance to the parking lot is off Route 29 and will be marked with signs.

The races begin at 8:00 a.m. / 8:30 a.m. / 9:15 a.m., so please arrive at least two hours beforehand so you have time to park, unload, check-in, and get to the starting line.
