Tour Of The Battenkill
Tour of the Battenkill route extended into Saratoga County
Published: Wednesday, July 15, 2009
By ANDREW J. BERNSTEIN, The Saratogian
CAMBRIDGE — For it’s sixth year, the Tour of the Battenkill, which became the nation’s largest bicycle race in 2009 with about 1,500 professional and amateur racers, will grow to two weekends and two counties in 2010.
Promoter Dieter Drake said Tuesday that tentative dates have been set for the expanded 2010 event.
Next year, in addition to the hallmark race for professional and amateur racers on Saturday, April 25, two events for professional racers will be held on Thursday, April 29, and Sunday, May 2.
All races will continue the race’s tradition of combining dirt and paved roads, a feature that has helped to make the Tour of the Battenkill one of the most popular races in the nation.
Drake is hoping that the second of the pro-only races will receive a spot on the international racing calendar, a status that would attract a field of domestic and international teams.
In 2009, professional and amateur racers competed on Saturday, followed by a pro event on Sunday.
“It’s a lot of work to put on both events in one weekend,” said Drake when asked why organizers decided to spread events over a week. “It makes sense to take time in between to get our hands around things that didn’t get done this year.”
Drake also added that from a tourism perspective, he and other organizers felt that splitting the event over two weekends would have a greater financial benefit to the area.
“If you can do two weekends, and they’re still open weekends in most of the villages around here, why not?” Drake asked. “It makes sense to attract more people.”
Spreading out the schedule will also give the race a chance to have a larger impact on surrounding communities, Drake said.
Friday, April 30, the day after the first of the two professional races, will be reserved as a media and outreach day, during which professional riders will be able to visit area schools and meet with community leaders to talk about awareness causes associated with some of the teams.
At least two of the 2009 teams, Team Type 1, which aims to raise awareness of Type 1 Diabetes, and Team BMC, the team of 2009 winner Scott Nydam, expressed interest in this kind of an opportunity.
“It’s a big part of what they do,” Drake said. “We want to give those guys an opportunity to invest in the race.”
Saturday will feature a recreational “cyclosportif” for cycling enthusiasts to enjoy roads used on the race course at a leisurely pace.
With the addition of a third day of racing, Drake said the race would likely leave the boundaries of Washington County for the first time, possibly crossing the Hudson River into Saratoga County.
“Schuylerville has expressed an interest in bringing a race up there,” Drake said. “The course will have a historical flare to capture the history of the Battle of Saratoga.”
Although the route for the new event is still being planned, Drake said he hoped to go through Saratoga National Historical Park on a county road, or to at least go by the park, possibly with a finish near the battle memorial in Schuylerville.
The final race, on May 2, will close out a week of racing, will retain the Tour of the Battenkill moniker and will be the event’s crown jewel. Drake said it is likely the Sunday race will receive a spot on the international cycling calendar, although races are not announced until the fall.
In 2009, the Tour of the Battenkill was sponsored by GlobalFoundries, the microprocessor manufacturer that is building a plant in Malta. Drake said sponsorship for the 2010 event is not yet set, but he is optimistic that GlobalFoundries will return for a second year.
