The Fall Classic takes in the best of Vermont dirt road cycling in the northern Champlain Valley. 114k and 200k riders share a mix of paved and dirt roads takes to the shoulders of Mt. Mansfield and into Jericho with a stop at the Village Cup. Riders then part ways – the 114k heads back to Burlington with views of the lake along Mallets Bay, and the 200k turns south towards Bolton Notch to the shoulder of Camel’s Hump into Huntington. A final climb over Shaker Mt. Rd. brings us back to the Champlain Valley and a well earned respite from the climbing is had on the quiet dirt roads of Hinesburg, Charlotte, and Shelburne as the route makes its way to the lake and back to Burlington. The 200k includes 5 major climbs and 5 covered bridges. Both routes enjoy quiet paved roads connecting many of our favorite (and scenic) dirt roads. Fast fun descending. Rewarding climbing, scenic views, and the chance to see early fall color at the higher elevations. Quintessential early fall Vermont riding.

Note – riders should carry extra cash for control stops. All controls are unstaffed, at local businesses. Receipts and / or signed cards by cafe / store clerks will be the operating procedure for control stops.
