The Tour de New York is a 6-day professional cycling stage race that's coming to Upstate New York in August 2010. The race will explore the Greater Rochester area and portions of the beautiful Finger Lakes region.

The inaugural 2010 UCI 2.2 Tour de New York will explode onto the international cycling scene and showcase the beautiful Western New York and Finger Lakes Regions of upstate New York from August 7th through August 12th. The six-day stage race will bring world-renowned professional teams to the Rochester Twilight Criterium on Saturday, August 7th, a 10-mile Individual Time Trial on August 8th and the tour will continue through August 12th with three road races and one circuit race.

The original event began in 2004 as the Saturn Rochester Twilight Criterium and experienced exponential growth each year in all areas including spectator attendance and economic impact. "2008’s 3-day Rochester Omnium was designed specifically as a platform to introduce the Tour de New York. The planning has been in the works for several years and we’re incredibly excited to launch the 6-day Tour," said Scott Page, the event’s Executive Director. Page continued, "The long term plan for the Tour de New York is to explore different areas of New York State each year for a portion of the event".

On September 24, 2009, the Union Cycliste Internationale granted the Tour de New York a place on the 2010 UCI Americas Tour.

Our last race of the year - and the third in our 'cross series was a huge success! Over 130 racers took to the course and gave it their best! The weather was perfect - and a record number of spectators came out to cheer them on. Maybe it was the free beer tasting presented by the Rohrbach Brewing Company - but they stayed and cheered their hearts out until the last rider finished the course. The course was challenging to say the least - but the pain was short-lived because of the festive atmosphere. We want to thank everyone for coming out and enjoying the day. We had tons of volunteers helping and we couldn't have done it without them! Thank you!

Results for Ellison as well as the series overall are now available. Some pictures are ready too - but more are to come so be sure to check back again soon - we'll be getting them out there as soon as we can. We're already looking towards our 2010 Cyclocross Series - which we plan on making even bigger and better. We hope you can join us next year so be sure to check back for details. We can't wait for next year - and thank you again for everyone who came out and made this fantastic event and the whole series a success!
