SUNDAY JULY 14, 2024 FOR A BASTILLE DAY EDITION
V5 Cycles  140 NJ-31, Flemington, NJ 08822

Registration Opens on June 7, 2024

Welcome to our longest unpaved road extravaganza! 

When we organized the Hell of Hunterdon in 2009, we knew there were a lot of unpaved roads that we couldn’t put into the ride, due to distance limitations.  Come 2015, when we first organized the Bastille Day Randonnée, we discovered even more gravel roads.  We knew we had to develop a course and launch a new event, but life and then COVID intervened. 

This name is so good we wonder why no one thought of it before…  It works on so many levels:

up to 43 miles of Gravel/Dirt Roads & Trails in the State of New Jersey
Your Kit will certainly be filthy when you finish
And then there are all the jokes about Jersey in general; thanks Joe Piscopo…

In summary, this is an all-day ride for the Full Course at ca 112 miles (39% unpaved) with more than 7300’ of climbing (according to Ride With GPS).   The Short(er) Course is 86 miles (45% unpaved) with 4700′ of climbing (according to Ride With GPS)

The start windows are:
Full Course: 7:00 AM – 7:30 AM
Short(er) Course: 7:30AM – 8:00AM.

All riders must finish by 7:30 PM
Please note Sunrise is at 5:40AM & Sunset is at 8:30PM.
