Awesome Andrea! Which course of the three was your favorite?
edit: Holy cow, lady! Just read some of your blog - specifically the Rouge Roubaix. Badazz is all I can muster, gf! I'll look for you n your team and throw down some serious cowbell just for you "guys" !
("I got a fevah..and the only prescription...is more cowbell!") lol No, really... Very impressive! Racing with men and getting up on their little psyches (sp?).. awesome...

Thanks! I liked day 2 the best. I actually didn't race on day 3 because after that storm came through, I went to the course to find out what was going on, and an official told me that the entire day was canceled! So, I packed up & went home, only to find out later that the p/1/2 race had been run...
I think the hill would have killed me, anyway!

I have heard of the infamous Rouge Roubaix. A lot of people come test the Tunis-Roubaix in Texas then hit the Rouge. I heard it is brutal.

This year was my first Rouge Roubaix... I loved it because I occasionally get bored during long races, and this was 100 miles broken up with awesome gravel road sections, so it made the time go by quickly, and it added some excitement

I live in Tulsa and every year I look forward to going out and watching the races at Tulsa Tough. It's a great weekend of drinking draft beer from the downtown pubs and cheering on the racers.
I'm still too chicken to do any of the rides but my husband has done them for the past couple of years. Last year he got caught out in a pretty bad storm. I sat at home and watched the hail ruin my roof for the second time in 3 years.
