Taking the Southern Roads at the 2015 Rouge Roubaix: Race Results and Video

In 2014, Argonaut Cycles took a trip down to Louisiana to put their endurance frames through the paces. They created a video soon after their adventure, capturing the ambiance of the race, and if you somehow missed it, it’s worth a look.

This year, the stakes were raised at the 106 mile gravel race. Argonaut Cycles, Breadwinner Cycles and Mosaic entered the 2015 Builder Challenge at Rouge Roubaix, where each company brought along four applicant racers to join their racing team, with one lucky racer getting a completely custom dream bike. Argonaut looked for Category 1/2 racers, while the other companies sought Category 3/4 racers.

Wondering how they placed? We have listed both races where the three frame builders were involved. Of course we need to give a special call out to the Women’s Field, where Meredith Miller was able to make the podium despite not being able to contend with the leaders on the first major climb.

The women's podium from @rougeroubaix! I didn't make it over the first gravel climb with Kristen Legan (@kplegan) and Lauren DeCrescenzo (@laurenissima) when they put the hammer down, but I was able to ride away on the last gravel section to finish 3rd. The race met all expectations – it was hard and fun and epic all at the same time! I highly, highly advise anyone and everyone to give this race a go. It's beautiful countryside with an interesting twist of culture. And it's fantastically well organized. Thanks @mosaiccycles and @lizannebb for inviting me to come along for the ride! And big props go to @muddylegs for flying in at 1:30 this morning and still kicking ass today! #rrbc2015 #louisiana #adventureracing #boulderbabes
