Based from the legendary Lime Rock Park in Connecticut's Litchfield County, this gravel fondo showcasing waterfalls and covered bridges promises to become an autumn classic in the Berkshires. This course and format is welcoming to riders of most abilities on a proper bike. For those who want to go hard, the timed segment will challenge them. For those looking for a nice fall tour, these roads will impress you…especially given the fall foliage that peaks earlier than the rest of New England.
All rides will start and finish on the fabled raceway near the Sam Posey Bridge. Riders will be offered three distances: The Epic (68 miles), the Explorer (53 miles) and the Express (18 miles). The Epic and Explorer will feature chip timed segments. Cumulative times across multiple segments will be compared for podium places. All riders will receive meal and drink tickets for the post-ride celebration.
Setting a cornerstone of a new Berkshire BikeFest, organizers of the October 8 Lime Rock Park Epic Presented by Specialized have partnered with Ciclismo Classico to host the first ever outdoor showing of their popular Bike Travel Festival. Click the button below to learn more!
