13th Annual IC3 Hillsboro-Roubaix Road Race – Spring Classic ‘14
Saturday, April 26, 2014 Wish you could race a Spring Classic in Europe? Race the 13th annual IC3 HillsboroRoubaix Spring Classic, through the brick streets and rural roads of beautiful Hillsboro, Illinois. Just 60 miles, but a world away from USAC St. Louis, MO, this is small town America at Women 3/4 its best. Racers will tour the brick streets of Cat 5 Hillsboro in a rolling neutral start, then race a Cat Pro/1/2 29 mile loop that has all you want in a Spring Cat 3 Classic: Flat open back roads heading into a Masters 40-49 northern headwind, rolling terrain, short but Masters 50+ Cat 4 challenging climbs, twisty descents, and Women Pro/1/2 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. Place
