cyclists alike. With its three races, including a climbing road race, a time trial, and a criterium, it offers
a diverse and challenging experience. 2024 is the 40 th Roan Groan. The course, which features a
category 1 climb of 7.4 miles, is incredibly challenging, reminiscent of the Col d'Aspin in the Pyrenees.
The Pro 1-2 field's additional loops on Simerly Creek Rd adds even more climbing, making it
comparable to a stage of the Tour de France. There are various race distances and categories to
