This ride benefits the Franklin Food Bank and starts from Franklin High School near Colonial Park. They feed you at start, at end and during the ride. There are 5 on-road events (62-mile, 40-mile, 25-mile, 10-mile, and 5-mile) that tour scenic Franklin and Hillsborough townships, and two “Canal” events that utilize the towpath along the D&R Canal.
