Race Discussion: April Events

First of all, before we get into the April events, let's give another nod to the late March event that debuted on GGN just last week to be held out in the state of Washington. The Grand Fondo Ephrata is taking place on the 21st and registration is open.

Now let's get on with the April events.......

Sometime in April the Pirate Cycling League will be doing the "Tour Of Dirt Roads". Stay tuned for this ride that will be going out of Lincoln to............somewhere.........

Next up we have the Canadian event, Paris To Ancaster which takes off on April 18th. This is a long running, popular event in Canada with some killer scenery and some real rustic, barely there sections that look like a lot of fun.

April 10th is the date for the AGRS series second event, the Ragnorok 105. The event is a bit over a century in length and traverses some pretty steep Southeastern Minnesota terrain.

Next up we head out East to Vermont for The Gravel Grinder Spring Classic. It's put on by Bike29.com and is a fun ride, but on a very challenging course that takes in all the "named" hills around Waterbury, Vermont.

Now we're heading to Wisconsin for the "B.A.L.L.S. Ride" (Big Ass Long Loop Shindig) This two day event includes a sleep over! Good times on some of Wisconsin's bicycle trails and backroads. The event will take place April 24th-25th.

Finally, the sixth running of Trans Iowa will take place starting and ending in Grinnell, Iowa on April 24th and 25th.
