Roughneck Gravel Roubaix - The McKinney 250
2024-05-24 17:00 - 2024-05-25 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Titusville Ironworks Tap House, 315 S. Franklin St., Titusville , Pennsylvania, 16354, US
The Roughneck Gravel Roubaix that was founded in 2022 and is going into it’s third year as an event. Many of completed the 100 mile distance, have asked us to add an Ultra, so we have created this for 2024 and beyond. In the first year the event will be a 250 mile gravel road ultra, boasting >85% gravel, beautiful climbs in and out of the Allegheny River Valley and the Valley that changed the world. The host town Titusville Pennsylvania is one of the most historical towns in the world that you may have never heard of. Titusville is the home of the first modern production oil well, it’s a small town nestled in Northwest Pennsylvania that almost every major oil company can trace its roots back to, this town is the reason for the Sherman Anti-trust act, this town is where John Heisman played his High School Football, so to simply say this town is packed with history is an understatement.

The 2024 Route will be a 250 mile route with 21,000 feet of climbing. The event will start Friday night May 24, 2024 and have a cut off time of 30 hours. The final route is still being curated, as we design the routes, then thoroughly vest them for safety inspecting every mile both by car and by bike. The route will be semi-supported with bag drops, natural springs, and on the second half access to the aid-stations of the other distances. However, we recommend you treat this as a self-supported event as the region is very rural, with very few convenience stores, but there are quite a few natural springs!

24hr del Montello-June dates TBA 2024
2024-06-01 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Rome) | Volpago del Montello, Italy
The 24H Montello is the first Ultra after the tragic death of Pawel Talaga, friend and Polish cyclist, who died in a road accident during the Race Across Italy.
We are all cyclists, both participants and organisers, and we are aware of the risks to which the road exposes us… but when this happens it leaves us all with a sense of emptiness and frustration, and it is not easy to carry on.
But it is now time to go ahead ….
The Ultracycling is a different kind of cycling, where the fatigue, sweat and loneliness of the long distance let you feel every cyclist you meet like a brother, where everyone is part of a large worldwide community, which, like a family, comes together at major events but is able to gather around even more in sorrow.
This is why the 24H of Montello will start…
to gather even more closely around Anna, Pawel’s wife, around Paolo Laureti and Race Across Italy, doing what you might say….
doing what Pawel loved to do: RIDING
During the race we will remember together our friend
#38 Pawel Talaga.

To qualifying for the RAAM you have to complete:
17,29 loop (579,363 Km) for the man;
16,130 loop (539,130 Km), for the woman and the Over 60 category

From an idea of Fabio Biasiolo, a historical name of Italian and international ultracycling, in the heart of Montello, the 33.5km route winds for 6, 12, or 24 hours.

Beginning in Oceanside, California and continuing non-stop to the finish in Annapolis, Maryland, the Race Across America (RAAM) is one of the most well known ultra-endurance events across all sports. It has been running since the early 1980’s and while it has included finishes by professional cyclists, it has also seen its share of relative newcomers to competitive cycling. There are race formats that welcome solo riders as well as two, four, or eight person relay teams. Solo racers must qualify by performance in at least one ‘RAAM Qualifier’ event. Qualification standards do not apply to relay teams. RAAM does require a support crew and can not be raced in an unsupported format. For those interested in a shorter, but still very demanding event, consider the Race Across the West, or RAW, which covers the first ~1,000 miles of the same course, finishing in Durango, Colorado.
