The Harris-Roubaix
The Harris-Roubaix: A Gravel Road Spring Classic
When? 12:00 Noon, April 11th 2010. (always the same day as the European Spring Classic, the Paris-Roubaix).
Where? Ride from Court Square, downtown Harrisonburg, leaving at 12:00pm Sharp!!
What? The Harris-Roubaix is another great fun cycling event brought to you by SVBC that happens every Spring on the same day as the Paris-Roubaix. It is a casual group ride from Harrisonburg to a family farm about 7 miles North of Harrisonburg, from the farm there will be a 10-15 mile loop marked for your enjoyment. You are more then welcome to ride the loop once or more, there is a informal 3 lap race that will crown the Champion of the Harris-Roubaix.
What type of bikes will there be? The great thing about the Harris-Roubaix is the diversity of bikes. There will be folks on road bikes (durable 25c tires minimum suggested), mountain bikes, tandems, fix gears, single speeds and kids trailers.
What to bring? Your bike, items to change a flat, water, a smile and some food to share at the farm. In the theme of a pot luck bring some food to Court Square, SVBC will bring it out to the farm!!
The roads of Roubaix? A majority of the Roubaix loop will be smooth gravel roads of Northwest Harrisonburg located around the Singers Glen area. The roads back up to the Great North Mountain so are several hills that can be very steep.
Is this a group ride or a race? It is a group to the farm where everyone will regroup and receive instructions about the loop and cue sheet if needed. Folks are welcome to ride at any pace knowing that the group will split up with the race heads battling out for the crown but the majority will be enjoying the beautiful views of the North.
Does it cost anything? Not to you, the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition covers the cost of sag support, snacks, beverages, markings and cue sheets. But please JOIN SVBC to show your support of this other local cycling events.
