Rocky Mountain Roubaix

[aj1152]

Is anyone else doing the Rocky Mountain Roubaix? This is a great race and us Spokane folks have an advantage: we're used to riding over crappy road conditions.

Here's the race flier. The good news is that registration is day-of, so no one's missed it yet...

I will be carpooling with whoever wants to go. I can take four/five people and five bikes. We'll leave VERY early Sunday morning and come home that afternoon.

I think I would like to go. Sounds like a cheap and easy day trip for a cool race.

Probably looking at entry fee, food, and my share of gas?

[aj1152]

Entry is around $25, gas will be about 10 to 15 depending on how many go. At current count: Taylor, Cooley, Lonnie, and Alan will share one car. I get about 26 miles per gallon when we have four people with four bikes on the highway.

Sounds cool. I'm in.

I'm out for this weekend's races. Sorry. I think you will have plenty of interest to fill the empty spot though.

But don't you remember how much fun you had last year?

Just look at the expressions of joy we all had last year. In order, Lonnie leading the women's pack (that's a long story), Mike showing that his quads casts shadows, and Cooley and me (hidden) going into the last turn before the uphill finish. What fun!
