"It will be very similar in look and feel to what existed there when we produced the Tour of the Battenkill on many of the same roads years ago: paved and gravel roads, covered bridges, beautiful landscapes. Each course will be about 20% gravel," Dieter Drake, president of Anthem Sports, told Cyclingnews.
"It was fully an amateur event then, and quickly grew into a Pro/Am. It was moved to the Village of Cambridge in 2009 where we held our first professional race (not UCI that year). In 2025 it will return to the Village of Cambridge," Drake explained.
"Dieter Drake, who established the event in 2005 in nearby Salem, plans to hold amateur and elite road races as well as a gran fondo, now registered by USA Cycling as just 'Battenkill'."
"Anthem Sports, the company which organised the earlier editions, discontinued the event in 2017 after an effort to raise funds to upgrade the men's elite race at the UCI level again."
