Scenes from the 2012 Tour Of The Battenkill race. 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. This year dry conditions made for tough and dusty racing on both days. Francisco Mancebo of the Competitive Cyclist team won the 128 mile UCI pro race on Sunday, follwed by Jesse Anthony, who finished second for the second year in a row. 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 2012 event.
