tour of the battenkill
Thank You!
We had a great time this year at battenkill! We met tons of great people, shot a promotional video for Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic and even did a little bike racing.
We especially want to thank the Penn-Jersey Cycling Team for their enthusiasm and race report at NJ.com that featured Echappe Equipment.
We look forward to seeing you all next year. If you haven't thanked Dieter Drake, please do so. He works super hard to make this race happen.

2008 ReCap:
HED STINGER 60s from Echappe win Cat 2 Men's Field!
The Stinger 60 is excellent for TT use. It is molded with our patented torodial rim shape which makes the rim slightly wider in the middle of the cross section and narrower at the brake surface. This design creates less drag by directing airflow off of the rim with less turbulence. The Stinger 60's aerodynamic advantage is significant (about 1:15 over 40K) while the handling remains relatively unaffected by side winds. The Stinger 60 is an all carbon bladder molded rim which keeps the wheel strong and the weight low.
The Stinger 60 is built with sonic hubs, bladed 6/4 ti spokes front, and bladed steel spokes rear. 700c only. Hed strongly recommends carbon-compound brake pads for use with all Stinger wheels.
