2010 Road Race
Sunday Aug 29th, 2010 - Racing starts at 8:35 am
Volunteers Needed
The Cherry-Roubaix Road Race
The Cherry-Roubaix Road Race will be held Sunday, August 29th, 2010, near Cedar, Michigan - home of the famous Cedar Polka Fest since 1981. This route is the a slightly altered version of the 12 (now 13.7)-mile course used for the late 80s Michigan State Road Race. The start/finish line is high atop Sugarloaf Resort, ensuring spectators a spectacular view of the race.
The hills and turns on the course are unforgettable and challenging. Prepare to meet the legendary and scenic rollers and of Leelanau County, a KOM (King of the Mountain) at the crest of Narlock Road and a challenging climb back to the sprint finish at Sugarloaf Resort. If you dare take a chance to look up from your bike, you just might catch a glimpse of Holy Rosary Church nestled on a hilltop corner (say a prayer), lush vineyards, or the deep blue waters of Lake Michigan. It very well could be the ride of your life!
Start/ Finish - Staging Area
Sugar Loaf Mountain Resort.
4500 S Sugar Loaf Mountain Rd, Cedar, MI
