Kermesse SportWednesday, April 15th, 2026 at 3:31pmThe @PinelandsAlliance annual Native Plant Sale is coming soon!
Mark your calendars for the Members Only Sale on Friday, April 24th from 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM and the Public Sale on Saturday, April 25th from 9:00 AM - 12:00 Noon at Pinelands Alliance 17 Pemberton Rd Southampton, NJ 08088
Find plants native to the Pine Barrens and South Jersey at our spring native plant sale. You can also visit our gift shop. There will be many opportunities to learn more about actions you can take to protect the Pinelands!
Native plants are the foundation of a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Your own backyard can become a vital habitat, a living buffet for the butterflies, bees, and birds that depend on native plants for food, shelter, and survival. As development continues to reshape our landscapes, the gardens we tend at home matter more than ever.

Uhlerstown Hill Rd is the steepest climb on the Fleche Buffoon (Saturday April 18th).
While doing our course check this past weekend we discovered that it was still closed! 😲
Normally the road is closed from December 1 - April 1 for safety concerns during the winter, but in speaking to public works this morning, the they are behind on repairs and clean-ups. Uhlerstown is low on their priority list, so they didn't have a target date for re-opening it.
So we're routing around it; not to worry, we have several options... The only question is if we want to be naughty or nice?

Kermesse SportMonday, April 6th, 2026 at 6:42amThe cycling press (largely based in Colorado & California), who show no love for East Coast Gravel, finally published an article on East Coast Gravel, wondering why the rides aren't as well known or attended as those in the west... 🤔
Featured in the article is our friend Dave Pryor, organizer of Monkey Knife Fight & UnPaved, among other excellent events.

As many of you know, some of the events in the east (like D2R2, Battenkill, Hell of Hunterdon, Monkey Knife Fight and Lu Lacka Wyco Hundo) are significantly older than most of the "marquee" events these publications like to promote and cover.
Please share your thoughts in the comments here and in the article...
Also show some love for Dave, along with our friend Pat Engleman by considering registering for their respective great events:
