Crush Gravel. Crush Road. Repeat.
 The Dairy Roubaix is a one day unsupported gravel grinder in the form of two different looping routes to choose from. This event has morphed over the years, but has always taken place in the beautiful and challenging Driftless Region of Southwest Wisconsin. Running each year since 2011 (the last 2 years, virtually because of, well, you know...), this event has become a Wisconsin cycling tradition and a chance to reunite with old friends in a relaxed atmosphere. 
2020 cancelled our beloved Dairy Roubaix with all the obvious Covid-related reasons, but it also changed the way it was going to look moving forward. We decided to take the opportunity to move the event to a much closer to home venue and introduce the world (those who don’t already know) about a whole new world of amazing gravel. This season presented with some new challenges, and your host, Vernon Trails decided to take a step back from this incredible event to figure out exactly how we wanted it to look for the next long while. We are going to treat the Dairy Roubaix this year (2021) like last year. Virtually. We have two new routes that we are very excited about, and we are certain you will be too. These can be found by opening these links:

But before you begin to worry that the Dairy Roubaix is going to go away, please let us tell you about why we are so excited about Spring of 2022. 

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

The 2022 Dairy Roubaix is April 22-24, 2022.

​Here’s a couple of details to whet your gravel appetite. 
  • The Dairy Roubaix 2022 will return to April (just like the equally well-known Paris-Roubaix that will also be returning to April next year).
  • We will host the entire weekend at Sugar Creek Bible Camp by renting the ENTIRE camp out.
  • There will be camping of all styles including tent, cabin, and luxury cabins to auction off as a Vernon Trails fundraiser.
  • There will be a grand breakfast served to the participants by your friends at Vernon Trails.
  • There will be food trucks.
  • There is singletrack to ride on the premises brought to you by 15 years’ worth of Camp Bluedog campers and staff, so bring that bike too.
  • There is a disc golf course and world class trout streams on sight.
  • The routes take riders through Viroqua and they are beautiful and scenic and HARD.
  • And once again this event is free.
So, there you have it! In summary, sorry for the suspenseful wait, but please stay tuned for the Dairy Roubaix Nouveau. A ton of info will come in the next couple of months, and we promise that all the DR fun you’ve had in the past or heard about is about to get ramped up. Until then, come ride the routes, have fun on your bikes and stay safe. Rage On!
