“While the race is very hard and very fast, it’s cloaked in a grassroots vibe and that really sets the tone. There are four distances; 18, 36, 62, and 100 miles. While Michigan has a very robust gravel racing scene for us aficionados, if a casual Michigander is going to do just one race all year, it’s the Barry-Roubaix. The 36-mile is actually the most popular, not the long distances for the hardcore riders. It’s a massive two-wheeled celebration highlighted by smooth gravel roads for any skill level and a literal semi-truckload (70 kegs worth!) of award-winning Founders beer, making this the perfect entry level gravel race.”
