What is the Boulder Roubaix

History Past Winners Course 2012 Boulder Roubaix

The Boulder Roubaix is a road race that takes place in the northern part of Boulder Colorado rolling over a mixture of pavement and gravel roads to nearly the distance of 69 miles. Named after the Paris Roubaix or sometimes referred to as The Hell of the North. The race is usually raced in the spring time, much like the Paris Roubaix testing the riders ability to handle the endurance and sometimes weather. The gravel sections of the course really give the race its unique character that nearly no other race can compare to. Many big names have raced and won this event like Danny Pate, Will Frishorn, Scott Moninger, Chris Baldwin, etc.

History

The Boulder Roubaix was started in 1992 by Chris Grealish on very much the same course it runs today. After 92 it moved to the Boulder Rez for awhile before it died but was later picked back up Chris by Clark Sheehan as part of the Boulder Stage Race. Please correct if wrong but the 2012 race will be the 17th time it has taken place.

Courses, past and present

There have been many variations of the Boulder Roubaix course, the most typical one is the same course as the 2008 Boulder Roubaix Course. There has also been one that runs through the Boulder Rez facility and in 2010 DBCEvents introduced the longer course which looks to be the same as the 2014 course

Highlights from the past

One year it was on the National Racing Calendar Series and pros from all the US teams did the race. One year the 2 guys in the PRO 1-2 breakaway thought they were being caught by some lapped rider when in fact he outsprinted them for the WIN after he caught them with 100 meters to go on the last lap and ha been chasing for 20 + miles solo.
