The Spring Classics are not all about the Monuments!
In tribute to the Belgian second tier classics, we present the Sourland Semi-Classic (SSC), a ca 64 mile ride that explores the Sourland Region of Central New Jersey. It will offer a gentle way to prepare for the main spring events. There is much more excellent riding to be had in the Sourlands; the SSC is our attempt to showcase it. Of course there will be some unpaved roads to go with the famous Sourland climbs and flats.

A “Spring Classic” for those who don’t like riding on dirt roads! The Fleche Buffoon is a tribute to the Ardennes Classics (Fleche Wallone, Amstel Gold Race & Liege-Bastogne-Liege). The challenging course features multiple steep climbs over its route. Along the way there will be miles of country roads, scenic farmland and quaint river towns. In true fashion, there is even an authentic Dutch windmill.

¡Ay Carranza! Over the years, we’ve received several requests to organize a gravel ride in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. We knew we could develop a fun and fast course, but the timing wasn’t right. A few years ago, when we began working with the Pinelands Preservation Alliance (PPA) on their annual Tour de Pines, we knew the time was finally right. The ride starts at PPA’s headquarters at a preserved farm in Southampton, NJ and travels through some hidden regions of the Pine Barrens, including past the Carranza Memorial. Carranza? Captain Emilio Carranza was the “Lindbergh of Mexico”, whose plane crashed in 1928 in a remote section of the Pine Barrens during a goodwill mission.

The Annual Fools Classic is a challenging mixed surface ride which emulates the conditions of the Northern European Spring Classics. Despite being founded long prior to the Revolutionary War, Bucks County doesn’t have much in terms of cobblestone roads, but due to its rural nature, there are many unsealed roads of dirt and gravel, lending perfectly to a tribute to the Ronde Van Vlaanderen. Gravel enthusiasts will not be disappointed!

Various Locations in the New Jersey Pine Barrens
We’ve partnered with the Pinelands Preservation Alliance to co-organize their annual Tour de Pines, a series of 4 rides in New Jersey’s famous Pine Barrens. These rides are self-supported, but we’ve done a lot of leg work, so you’ll receive all the information you need to ride these routes on your own.
