Putnam County Cycling Classic
UCI World Tour Event - May 5th, 2103
The Putnam Cycling Classic is a challenging recreational cycling event, run in a format known as “Gran Fondo” - a timed event held on a professional race course and open to cyclists of all abilities and ages. The Putnam Cycling Classic is not a race in the true sense –a Gran Fondo can be ridden either as a flat out effort for time, or as a (somewhat) leisurely ride with friends through Beautiful Putnam County under controlled road conditions.
Berkshire Cycling Classic
