Cafeteros Cycling and Team Mossman / Tokeneke Racing are proud to stage this exciting bike race around the Barkhamsted Reservoir in central Connecticut, usually the first week in August.
This is a race organized by and for racers. The area was chosen because of the challenging terrain and spectacular beauty of the race course. We think it is one of the best courses in the Northeast, and we've raced a few of them. The course consists of multiple loops around a hilly 22-mile circuit with about 2000 feet of climbing per lap. The field often splits before the finish, but if not, the final 2.2 miles at a consistent 5% grade ensures a thrilling finish for both contestants and spectators. Come join us for this classic bike race.
This year we have been designated the New England Chamionship Road Race by USA Cycling.
