A “Spring Classic” for those of you who don’t particularly like riding on dirt roads. The Fleche Buffoon is our tribute to the Ardennes Classics (Fleche Wallonne, Amstel Gold Race & the oldest of the classics, Liege-Bastogne-Liege).

We now offer 2 hilly courses (ca 62 and 76 miles) through the Bucks County, PA & Hunterdon County, NJ countryside. The challenging courses feature up to 14 steep climbs over its route. Along the way there will be miles of country roads, scenic farmland and quaint river towns. In true Amstel fashion, on the long course, there will even be an authentic Dutch windmill along the course (in Holland Township no less). Both courses share a single aid station, just prior to where the courses split.

These courses are entirely paved, no dirt or gravel, unlike our other Spring Classics, the Hell of Hunterdon, the Fools Classic, and the Sourland Semi-Classic. Well, the marquee climb (Uhlerstown Rd) is in crap condition, with lots of debris and loose gravel, but technically it is paved…

Stronger Together: Join Our Peloton for the Franklin Food Bank

Why we ride (and why we need you):

In cycling, a “peloton” is a group of riders who save energy by riding close together. By working as one, the group can achieve speeds and distances that an individual rider never could.

That is exactly why we are inviting YOU to participate in this year's Tour de Franklin.

The Franklin Food Bank is here for our neighbors, but the uphill climb of food insecurity is steeper than ever. We distribute 4 million pounds of food annually — roughly the weight of:

12 Blue Whales
330 School Buses
4 International Space Stations

No one person can move that weight alone — but together, we can carry the load. As a collective, we will raise more for the Franklin Food Bank than we ever could alone.
