Two Months From Today

Found on the Internet: A kindred spirit!

That strange little metric century concept of mine—Cheesehead Roubaix—is now just two months away.  It will be interesting to see how many people show up.  A lot of pure roadies are hesitant to ride unpaved roads, and Cheesehead Roubaix will feature 9.5 miles of gravel.  I get that it’s not a ride for everybody, but it’s such a good route that I think the people who do show up will really enjoy themselves.  When I tested the concept last April, the ride became one of the highlights of my season.  This year’s route is even better and I’ve done more to promote the ride.  You don’t have to register (this is a free, unsanctioned event) but you can indicate your desire to participate at this Facebook page.  The success or failure of any ride ultimately rests on participation.  Good company makes for fun even on bad roads in bad weather.  Bad roads I can promise.  Bad weather?  We’ll see.  Doesn’t matter.  Come on out and bring your friends.
