Road Apple Roubaix

Kick off your 2017 riding season with the Road Apple Roubaix. 

This gravel road ride will test riders with plenty of gravel, some pavement, potential mud and perhaps even some snow and ice!   This is an opportunity to tour some of the less-travelled roads out in Amish country…JUST BEWARE OF THE ROAD APPLES!  

There are three route options for 2017 which will be tentatively 15, 25 and 40 miles.

• A scenic tour through the country roads of Portage and Geauga County.
• Cyclocross, Mountain, Single-Speed, Fixed gear, Fatbikes and tandem bicycles are welcome.  Road bikes will not be well-suited for this course.
• The course is will be marked prior to the event and maps will be available. Course marshals will NOT be at every corner or intersection, rules of the road apply!
• The course will NOT be closed to traffic and does not have a rolling escort. Cycling rules of the road apply, i.e. stop at all stop signs, yield to cars, no more than 2 riders abreast and do not cross yellow center line. Please do not litter.
• A sag vehicle will be on course to help out riders.
