Scenes from the 2017 Tour Of The Battenkill race on May 20, 2017. Started in 2005, the race was originally called Battenkill Roubaix in honor of the Paris Roubaix race in France, one of the long time “Spring Classics” that takes in both paved, unpaved, and cobbled sections of historic European roads. The Battenkill race, held in Washington County, NY, northeast of Albany, covers a lengthy course over the scenic back roads of the area. The course includes significant portions of dirt roads and, depending on the weather the race may be a mud bath or a dust bowl. Over it’s short history, the Tour Of The Battenkill has become the largest single day racing event in the United States, with 3000 amateur and pro racers registered for the 2017 event.
