This evening I drove the Cheesehead Roubaix route to ensure the accuracy of the cuesheet and to paint a CR logo and a directional arrow at key intersections. I found one error on the original cuesheet, so if you're coming to the ride please download the corrected version here.
Cheesehead Roubaix is supposed to be a challenging ride, but nobody is supposed to get hurt doing it. With that in mind, on Sunday I will present an addendum to the cuesheet to provide a detour around the last unpaved sector. Lovers Lane from Highland Drive to County Highway H (mile 52.9 to 53.9) is unsafe. I drove down that road this evening and barely made it through. Had I been in a passenger car instead of an SUV, I would have gotten stranded. All other unpaved sectors are eminently rideable, but I suggest you pass on this one. However, the decision is yours. Lovers Lane is an open public road and, most importantly, you are responsible for yourself.
