Cheesehead Roubaix is getting a makeover! This year’s route will be very different, introducing you to exciting gravel sectors never featured before. The 66-mile ride will include about 7 miles of gravel roads and nearly 2,000 feet of climbing. Want to test your fitness coming out of Wisconsin’s long winter? This is the ride for you! And it’s only 13 weeks away: Cheesehead Roubaix XV will begin at Newburg Fireman’s Park on Saturday, May 2, at 9 a.m. CDT.
Cheesehead Roubaix is free of charge, but please consider making a voluntary contribution to the Newburg Fire Department to show your appreciation for the use of its facility. Donations will be accepted at the concessions stand before and after the ride. NFD is a small, all-volunteer department. Your generosity will make a big difference! And to ensure NFD has enough food and drink in stock at the concessions stand for post-ride sales, please confirm your attendance on the Facebook event page.
There will be no mid-ride rest stop on the new route. Food and drink will be available for sale at minimarts along the route. See the cuesheet for locations.
Cheesehead Roubaix is designed for self-sufficient cyclists. Be prepared to handle your own flat tires and other minor mechanical issues. The ride uses only open public roads and park paths. You are responsible for your own safety and conduct, and you are expressly not exempt from Wisconsin traffic laws. Represent the sport well. Please visit the Cheesehead Roubaix website and print out your own copy of the cuesheet and map. The website also offers data files for GPS devices.
See you on May 2!
