The 2025 Shoo-Fly Classic is set for Saturday, Sept. 27, and we’re offering both road and GRAVEL options! Roadies: Pick from the three traditional mileage options of 20, 40 or 62 miles. Gravel grinders: Come join us for a new, more approachable yet challenging 26-mile loop with just under 1,900-feet of climbing! Cyclists of all ages and abilities will enjoy the scenic roads of the Oley Valley in beautiful Berks County. Meander through gently rolling farmland, take on punchy climbs, roll over a covered bridge, see multiple historic landmarks of the Oley Valley, and enjoy an assortment of great food and drinks from our local county businesses.
