INFO ON THE REAL WORLD BICYCLING FLASS CLASSIC

Interested in attending the real-world Bicycling Fall Classic? On Sunday, October 1, join Bicycling on our favorite roads in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Vally. An unforgettable day of cycling awaits. Friends, family, and the staff of Bicycling are at your side, ready to explore 90, 50, 25, or 10 miles of the country’s best roads.

You'll pass horse-drawn carriages, roll by cover bridges, and swoop past mountain creeks canopied by changing leaves. Your ride will end with a lap around the iconic "T-Town" velodrome (Valley Preferred Cycling Center). And then the party begins.

It’s not a race but you can still challenge yourself to ride farther than usual or chase friends up timed climbs on the longer routes. At rest stops, there are plenty of snacks to keep you riding strong, including performance nutrition and hydration from CLIF Bar, and Sun-Maid raisins. Mechanics and medics on course and at each rest stop will make sure your bike and body stay in top condition all day.
