14th Annual IC3 Hillsboro-Roubaix Road Race – Spring Classic ‘15
Saturday, April 18, 2015 Wish you could race a Spring Classic in Europe? Race the 14th annual IC3 HillsboroRoubaix Spring Classic, through the brick streets and rural roads of beautiful Hillsboro, Illinois. Just 60 miles, but a world away from St. Louis, MO, this is small town America at its best. Racers will tour the brick streets of Hillsboro in a rolling neutral start, then race a 29 mile loop that has all you want in a Spring Classic: Flat open back roads heading into a northern headwind, rolling terrain, short but challenging climbs, twisty descents, and village streets paved in brick. Sorry, no real pave, the bricks will have to suffice! 39/25 gearing is recommended for one stiff climb, road surfaces are good enough for 700 x 23 clinchers. There is some gravel in corners.
Held under a USA Cycling Event Permit -----Event will be held rain or shine -----Pre-Registration at BikeReg.com Racers pay BikeReg.com fee Same day registration is $10 more than the Pre Reg Entry
