The Crew

Laura's first foray into promoting cycling was when as a kid she set up a neighborhood bike drive through. After over a decade of organic farming and living in cycling centric places like Denmark, Colorado and Belgium she started working to organize community events including the Reading120 and Thompson Bucks County Classic in 2016. At the end of 2018 she took the reins of the Bucks County Classic first producing the 2019 race. Since then she's worked for over a dozen cycling events across the country while also organizing events in her community. She enjoys finding creative ways to bring communities together and encourage healthy lifestyles in the process. Outside of cycling she likes growing things and teaching others to do so.

Raffaele came on board in 2012 but has been producing, providing equipment and offering logistics services for events for over 30 years. In addition to working on amateur and professional cycling events he also provides these services for other sporting and high profile events and has assisted with over 400 across the USA. When not working he enjoys fly fishing and fly tying and antique and classic automobiles.

Jessica has served as our Volunteer Coordinator since 2017. She was born and raised in the Doylestown area and graduated from Central Buck East High School where she competed in volleyball. She became involved in the race through her friendship with the guys at Doylestown Bike Works and association with the Doylestown Bike Works p/b Fred Beans Cycling Team. Her goal every year is to make the race the safest possible for both the athletes, the spectators, and the folks making their way into the Discover Doylestown Arts Festival.

Allan became involved with cycling at the Hill Cycle Shop, which was a racing shop, in his early 20’s. He had a professional license for four years and then went on to work in various capacities with race promotion which was a creed of the club- that one would always continue to promote the sport of cycling. Decades of races later he is excited to be involved with the Bucks County Classic. In his spare time he contributes at a local frame building shop and is involved with the Philadelphia Bike Expo. He rides his bicycle everywhere and once pedaled across the United States and back with a passenger on a bicycle built for two covering 8,153 miles.
