The New York, USA-based Century Road Club Association has revived the Bear Mountain Fall Classic. This event, which was last won in the fall by John Lieswyn and Tina Pic in 2000, will cover the hilly terrain of Harriman State Park in New York on Sunday, September 11. This will be the same course as the spring Harriman race, which has been the site of national championships and Olympic trials.
This year the event is named the Nancy Morgenstern Memorial in honour of a local rider who was killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City. The winner of the Elite Women's race will receive the Nancy Morgenstern Trophy. The event also features equal prize money for the winner of the Elite Men's and Women's races, as well as a separate field for Category 4 Women.
