Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!
It just doesn't have the same effect as S U N D A Y !
The first cycling event of 2010 here in the mitten state will kick-off this Saturday, March 27 with the Barry-Roubaix a.k.a. The Killer Gravel Road race. This event is gaining in popularity and I'm sure it will be a good time for all. I dig riding the gravel roads of Michigan. They keep me away from traffic and the terrain is much more diverse. Less traveled. I am beginning to realize how popular gravel road racing has become. It is steeped in history dating back to the infancy of bike racing when all roads were unpaved. The L'Eroica is Italy's equivalent of Paris-Roubaix. Check out this recap of last years ride in Italy.
Here in the US it seems like many states have been running gravel road races for some time. Especially in places like Texas, Kansas and Iowa. Check out the Gravel Grinder News BLOG for additional info, especially the event listings on the right side of the main page.
Race recap later...
