Boulder Roubaix

2026 Colorado Bicycle Racing Association State Road Race Championships

One of the most hallowed races in the western US. Inspired by the real ‘Queen of the Classics’, the French race that goes from Paris to Roubaix. The 2026 edition also serves at the Colorado State Road Race Championships. Only members holding an annual license residing in Colorado are eligible for the championship title.

An new, longer 30 mile (48k) loop with 39% paved roads & 61% unpaved roads in North Boulder County. We’ve expanded the course to move the start finish to the Boulder Reservoir. The new course offers a challenging last few miles along the Boulder Feeder Canal and across the Boulder Reservoir dams. Rolling terrain on roads that can be anywhere from smooth to extremely rutted. It all depends on the weather running up to the race. If it is wet on race day, expect slippery, sloppy conditions on the dirt sections. Neutral support is based on volunteer availability and is unlikely. Please bring a pump and spare tube. Do a “bolt check” and bottle cage press.

Race # / timing chip pickup locations:

  • Thur. April 23, 5:00pm to 8:30pm, @ Vecchio’s Bike Shop, 2725 Iris Ave, Boulder. (View on Map)

Timing Chip / Number Placement

Riders must mount the tag on their seatpost exactly as pictured. If not mounted properly, they will NOT get a chip read! For example, if you were to mount it so the gray/silver chip itself (visible in the photo below) is horizontal, it will not read, and your timing won’t be recorded.
