About Reveille Roubaix

The idea for Reveille Roubaix came from Paris–Roubaix, a one-day professional bicycle road race in northern France. Paris-Roubaix is one of cycling’s oldest races and is renowned for its rough terrain and cobblestones. Reveille Roubaix will trade cobblestones, French countryside, wine and baguettes for beer, barbecue and the gravel trails and winding roads of Burnet County. The two-part event will include the Reveille Roubaix Tour, a challenging but untimed ride, and the Reveille Roubaix Race, an amateur race presented with Holland Racing.
