Best Cycling Events in New England 2023
Updated Nov 7, 2022
Strambecco rates the top road cycling events in New England for 2023 based on various factors, including reputation, route quality, location, rider feedback, and the overall uniqueness of the event or race. Spanning upstate New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Rhode Island — New England terrain features of Strambecco’s best list often are known for the rocky Atlantic coastline, changing autumn foliage, rolling hills, and forested mountains.
If we had to pick the best of the best, or those you’d classify as bucket list events, we’d recommend the Tour of the Battenkill in May or the Vermont Gran Fondo in August. We also strongly correlate the best events and professional event producers. In New England, premiere event producers include Ventures Endurance Events, Life Time Events, and Hincapie Events.
Strambecco does not list every event. We strive to identify and review events that are special and noteworthy. If you have suggestions on other events, we should consider or review, please get in touch with us here or send us a note at editors@strambecco.com.
