The 16th installment of the Pennsylvania Randonneurs Fall Classic brevet & populaire returns to Easton and a reprisal of the Neo-Classic routes first used in 2018. These routes pay homage to many stretches of road that have delighted (?) PA Randos for years. Yes, you will get the Fox Gap (200k only). And Lomasons Glen. And Mountain View. But you can also get the glorious descent on Sweet Hollow Road into Milford and many other extended downhills that lie just over the crest of those climbs.
With the demise of the short-lived Cask Taphouse, the start finish location has been moved to Hugh Moore Park along the Lehigh River. This location worked well for the Pagoda 200 earlier this year. Post-ride food and beverage is planned. Plan to spend a little time after finishing to enjoy the camaraderie of randonneuring and getting to know other riders who you typically only pass in controls. It will also be a good time to corner the RBA and give him your wish list for future PA Randonneurs events or discuss volunteer opportunities in 2022.
With less than 11 hours of daylight available, 200k riders will need lights and reflective gear unless you have a history of faster finishes. All riders are encouraged to get into the winter habit of riding with lights and reflective gear.
Event details and registration for both events is available on the website. Registration is open until midnight on Wednesday, October 13. Make plans to attend. The Fall Classic is always a good time.
