Although not a race, the Reveille Roubaix Tour is a  ride for cyclists experienced on rough terrain and ready for a fun but difficult challenge.  Support will be provided for the tour, but riders should be prepared to service their bikes on the route if necessary.  Because of the types of roads on the tour, access to the route by our SAG vehicles and mechanics will sometimes be limited. Volunteers will also ride the tour route on bikes and in trucks to provide support as needed.
