From http://www.ridewithrendall.com/events/clarence-rockland-classic/. "Clarence-Rockland Classic 2011 In the true spirit of a European spring classic, Ride with Rendall brings you the 2nd annual Clarence-Rockland Classic – a 85km Cyclosportive “race” held over a mix of gravel and paved roads. The course takes riders out and around the entire Clarence-Rockland Township and returns to finish in Rockland."
