Prairie Roubaix



A 104-mile gentleman's race out where they smash atoms together. 66 miles on dirt and gravel paths, the rest on pavement. A promise of some sharp climbs, and a Directer Sportif.

And I quote:

The Rules:

Race Neutral 75 miles

Attacks start when we return to the dirt section in Warrenville. No sympathy for flats, bonking or puking at this point.

Podium Prizes for the top three.
Combativity Prize for heroic futility (Patrick).
Lantern Rouge gets a round of applause.

King of the Mountain competition when we cross the Fox River and climb the FOXRIVERBERG both times.
3pts for First
2pts for Second
1pt for Third

King of MTNS Prize: Bottle Belgian Brew.

That figure is ambiguous. Are you in first place or last place?
