I just wanted to share a great event down in the Southern tip of Illinois if anyone is interested. Last year (our first year) we had 98 racers from 9 different states. We don't have a lottery or ticket scalpers trying to get rich off of selling their entries. What we do have is some great scenery with some super challenging hills and gravel. Check it out if you have a few minutes. Last year, the race was the same weekend (first Saturday of March) and the temps were about 40F at the start and near 60F at the finish. I can't promise the same temps, but it made for a great day on the bike. https://www.bikesignup.com/Race/IL/AltoPass/TheDirtySouthRoubaix100k
This couple killed it in the race and made a great video. My opinion on the race may be biased since I put it on, but I heard zero negative comments. Check out their video. It has some freat narrated race footage. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Emzt0V8hOkU&feature=youtu.be
