CAMBRIDGE America’s larg-est one day Pro/Am cycling race, the Tour of the Battenkill, returns to Cambridge this weekend with a full slate of

“We’re happy to bring expo-sure to the sport of cycling and the Battenkill Valley with the event each year,” said Race

Director Dieter Drake. “The

hard work that goes into mak-ing this event happen is

rewarded by the thrilling

a t m o - sphere of the week-end.”

The Tour of the Battenkill kicks off at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 13 with the race expo in Railroad Park on Broad Street in Cambridge. Visitors can explore booths by cycling ven-dors, local food vendors and sponsors.

At 11 a.m. on Friday, Greg LeMond will join a book signing at Battenkill Books, located at 15 E. Main Street. LeMond will appear with Bill Humphreys, author of “Jersey Project,” a book that is a pictorial compila-tion of professional cycling jer-seys, some of which were worn by LeMond as a professional. Humphries, a well-known coach and cyclist, was an original member of “The Raleigh Boys,” the first American cycling squad to compete as a spon-sored team in a European stage race.

Pro/Am Rider check-in will follow the book event at noon in the nearby Cambridge Freight Yard. Around half of the 3,000 amateurs racing the Saturday Pro/Am event are expected to pick up their race packets and numbers at this time.

“After eight years of involve-ment in this event and a life-time of involvement in cycling, it is incredibly rewarding to see

Drumm’s sawmill has grown a great deal in its eight years of operation. What began as a small, part-time “hobby” for owners, Barney and Shirley Drumm, has developed into a full-time business, providing custom finished lumber products with a personal touch. The Drumm’s have always been interested in lumber and building materials. In 2004 they purchased the sawmill and then they recognized there was a need for rough cut lumber to restore local barns and farmhouses in the area. Shortly after the mill started running, they realized they wanted to supply finished siding and flooring, so they added a planing mill to their yard. In 2008, Barney retired from his “day job” allowing him the time to take his business to full-time hours. Additionally, last fall he purchased a dry kiln to keep up with custom and specialty orders. Currently, the husband and wife team run the business with the help of two employees. Barney Drumm, General Manager, and Bookkeeper, Shirley Drumm, work with Assistant Manager, James Groonziak, to meet the unique needs of builders and homeowners. The future plans of Drumm’s Sawmill include adding another employee and continuing to provide high-quality, custom, Adirondack-based lumber for orders both big and small. To contact Drumm’s Sawmill you can reach them at 518-583-1168 or 518-928-5737 or visit them at 193 Casey Road in Schuylerville.
