Rouge-Roubaix 2009 race date has been announced!
Sunday March 8,2009 8:00 AM roll-out
It is not even close to what the riders endure during Paris-Roubaix,
but it'll be pain and suffering to the max!
Rouge-Roubaix is a brutal Century, set out around the hilly roads around St. Francisville.
Please visit: http://www.rougeroubaix.com/ for full information.
As the saying goes: "A picture speaks a thousand words".
This is our own Trevor Casper during Rouge-Roubaix!
Louisiana is considered flat lands by many, Trevor (being born and raised in mountainous Canada) begs to differ!
The race course has three sections of gravel and other sections might be considered sub-standard roads, with plenty of hills to conquer!
Needless to say, when you decide to sign up, train well, come prepared, have your bike checked before and after the race and make sure to bring some extra tubes/tools!
Never count on a feed zone to complete the race. Always have enough of consumables to finish the race, just in case your feed doesn't work out.!
