Following the Cherry-Roubaix criterium race on Saturday, Aug. 29, a road race will be held Sunday, Aug. 30 on the same 12-mile course that the Michigan State Road Race used in the late 1980s. The start-finish line for the Michigan State Road Race was at Sugar Loaf Resort.
The 2009 Cherry Roubaix will be part of the Michigan Challenge Race Series, in which riders receive points based upon their finish in a number of events around the state. Series races typically draw more highly-skilled cyclists.
