A Genuine Spring Classic: Unleash the Legend
Embark on a true spring classic with the 93-mile Rouge Roubaix, an epic bike race that traverses the diverse landscapes of the Feliciana’s. Starting in St. Francisville, LA, the route meanders north and west through the enchanting back roads of West Feliciana Parish and Wilkinson County, Mississippi. Brace yourself for a constantly rolling terrain, featuring challenging climbs that will put every racer to the test. The road surfaces promise variety, from chip and seal to sandy gravel, smooth-as-glass asphalt, and some sections that are, well, a bit rough around the edges.
Man vs. Machine: Conquer the Elements
Rouge Roubaix is a classic test of man and machine against the unpredictable terrain and elements. Weather conditions are as varied as the course itself. Be prepared to face the Louisiana heat and humidity, with temperatures soaring up to 80 degrees (trust us, it’s worse than Houston). On the flip side, expect the chill to the extent that your water bottles might freeze. Yet, if the cycling gods favor us, you might experience one of those perfect spring days where breaking a sweat becomes the real challenge.
Gear up, mark your calendars, and get ready to be part of the legacy at Rouge Roubaix XXII on March 9th, 2024!
