COMING UP SUNDAY, MAY 29TH – SOCAL GRAVEL TROFEE #2: LA ROUBAIX!
The L. A.  ROUBAIX  TROFEE pays tribute to Europe’s Spring Classics, monumental rides such as Paris-Roubaix  (the Hell of the North!) by offering riders a hard, fun day of cycling on everything Los Angeles has to offer, and all within sight of Downtown. No cobblestones, but the L. A.s’ equivalent:  rugged, barely paved roads, dirt roads, single track, old trolley tracks, and stairs. The rides includes climbing over a bunch of hills, too. Participants can choose from two distances: the Petit TROFEE at approximately 30 miles (with 2,300 feet of climbing) or the Grande TROFEE at 62 miles (a whopping 7,300 feet of climbing). Beer and good food will await all finishers at Golden Road. Participants will earn valuable points toward TROFEE series prizes and awards.
The So Cal Gravel TROFEE is a series of six scored events produced by SoCal Cross from April to September 2016. So Cal Gravel Trofees are medium distance rides on pavement, dirt roads, fire trails, single track and interesting obstacles mixed together into challenging rough road rides into some of the best urban and wilderness landscapes in Southern California. The next event will be the 626 Golden Streets TROFEE on  June 26, 2016 in Monrovia. Stay tuned to Â
