The 2015 Harris-Roubaix

The Universal Sign for FUN AHEAD!!

It is time again for the second spring classic. This Sunday, April 12th, will be the 2015 Edition of the Harris-Roubaix, "A Celebration of Gravel Roads".   The Harris-Roubaix has been going on for 15 (?) years and has grown from a few riders to a diverse group of 100+ riders.  You will see every type of bike out there: road bikes, tandems, mountain bikes, fix gears, kids trailers, fat bikes.

With road names like this you know it will be a party!

The format is based around fun while also paying respect to the finest single day road race in the world, the Paris-Roubaix . This year's Harris Roubaix, like always, falls on the same day as the European Spring Classic which races on some of the roughest cobblestone roads France.

A spring classic road..can you name it?

Make sure you bring some snacks or drinks to share, for this is a potluck event. Just bring your meal donation to Court Square a little before the striking on the noon clock. The ride leaves sharp at 12pm and will be a casual 7 miles ride to the farm, where the celebration and a great 16 mile lap is set up for your enjoyment.  Ride one, two or three laps or just hang out and cheer the riders.
