NCC Tour of the Hilltowns

A New England Classic Through the Hilltowns of the Berkshires

The 14th Annual NCC Tour of the Hilltowns road race will take place on Saturday, July 21, 2012. This is the 2012 MA State Championship race and promises to be a highlight of the 2012 season as it again challenges riders with the now infamous East Hawley Road climb and the long grind back to Notchview Reservation. The race is produced by the Northampton Cycling Club to benefit the NCC and the Notchview Reservation.

Course: 155 km (97 mi) double loop with 3 major climbs and 2 feed zones for the Elite Men and 90km (57 mi) loop with two major climbs and one feed zone for all other categories. Start and finish at Notchview Reservation on Rt. 9 in Windsor, MA.
