Michigan's 2010 cycling race season kicks off this year with the Killer Gravel Road Race - The second annual Barry-Roubaix! Like the classic it's named after, Barry-Roubaix will test riders against rolling gravel roads (80%), pavement, one mile of rough two-track, rocks, sand, mud, and possibly snow and ice, along with 2200 feet of climbing over its 35 mile loop.
