Race the 9th Annual Hillsboro-Roubaix Spring Classic which rumbles through the brick streets and rural roads of beautiful Hillsboro, Illinois. This small town is just 60 miles north of St. Louis, Missouri. The racers will traverse the brick streets of Hillsboro while racing over a 28.75 mile loop that has all you want in a spring classic. Flat open back roads with no cover from the spring winds, rolling terrain, short but challenging climbs, twisty descents and village streets paved with bricks. Sorry no pave’, but the bricks will have you diving for the smooth gutter! 39/25 gearing is recommended for one stiff climb. The road surfaces are good enough for 700x23 clinchers. There is gravel in some corners.

Hillsboro-Roubaix was selected as qualifying race for the Nature Valley Grand Prix in 2010. This was an opportunity to send the top amateurs to compete against the country’s top men and women professional bicycle racers. Entering its second year, the “Nature Valley Pro Ride” will select amateur men and women at regional races around the United States to become part of a pair of Nature Valley composite teams for the 12th annual edition of the five-day stage race that begins in June. The Nature Valley Grand Prix ranks as one of the premier events on the USA Cycling National Race Calendar (NRC) each year, attracting tens of thousands of cycling enthusiasts, pro athletes and avid recreational riders to Minnesota. Amateur racers (Category 1 men and Category 1,2 women) who qualify at a Nature Valley Pro Ride event receive a “battlefield promotion” that earns them free entry to the race, travel stipends, team clothing, housing, ground transportation, and staff support for their composite team.
