“Roubaix is unnatural. It’s inhumane. It’s riding a jackhammer at 50 kph while fighting tooth and nail for every spec of pavement beneath you, against an angry cadre of locals with knowhow that dwarfs your own because your last name isn’t gutturally Flemish.” While the Mill District Roubaix Day watch party + ride won’t be a fight to the front, it will be hours of of fun, shepherded by Ted King. We’ll watch the final two hours of Paris Roubaix in the early morning hours (whenever you prefer to arrive) with coffee and pastries and then we’ll head off for two potential ride routes: one for the spirited folks who prefer a more challenging route (Geysers) and one for those who would prefer the meandering wine country tour. Both will offer stunning views and both will end with a Belgian themed lunch celebration post ride. This is a limited-attendance ride, so please RSVP in advance. The itinerary: 7am-9am – Check-in, coffee/tea, pastries and Paris Roubaix Viewing Party 9:00am - Approximate Roubaix Finish, followed by rules of the road, review route.
