The 'epic' Colorado road race, Boulder Roubaix, which was scheduled to run April 7th has been postponed due to unsafe weather. Race promoters announced a new date of April 14th for the race, which is held on a 8.6 mile course consisting of 75% hard-pack dirt roads designed to simulate the challenging conditions faced by European professionals in the infamous 'Hell of the North', Paris-Roubaix.
Nichol was disappointed with the change, which will mean several big names missing out on the race now that the date overlaps with Sea Otter and the days right before Tour de Georgia. "The top finishers from last year were all going to be there - Scott Moninger, Chris Baldwin... and Tom Danielson was going to race. It's a shame - I was hoping to see them all going for it out there... we'll still have 500-600 riders next week, though."
