We are pleased to announce that the Town of Bristol will be host to a section of Stage 6 of the race route for the Montreal – Boston Cycling Tour. The Montreal – Boston Cycling Tour could be one of the biggest sporting events in New Hampshire history! An estimated 140 plus top cyclists from 20 professional teams from Europe, North America and South America are expected to race in the 750 mile event. The Race begins August 5^th in Montreal – two weeks after the tour de France – and ends in Boston on August 12^th.

The Town of Bristol has decided to be very pro-active in promoting and embracing this event that could potentially bring thousands of visitors to New Hampshire and hopefully some of those to Bristol!  A steering committee has been formed and an event coordinator has been hired to help with the planning and promotion of Bristol’s part in this exciting sporting event. Our goal is to promote Bristol! Ideas are being generated now that are aimed at bringing more people into the community to watch the Montreal – Boston Cycling Tour and while they are here offer activities and events that would promote local businesses and organizations. We have named the August 10^th event “Bicycles Breezin’ thru Bristol”

The Town of Bristol will keep you up to date as much as possible. In the meantime – if you have ANY questions – please contact the Event Coordinator Claire Moorhead at bristolevents@hotmail.com or contact Krystal Alpers at the Bristol Town Office at 744-3354.
