The name Cherry-Roubaix pays homage to a classic single-day professional bicycle road race that takes place in northern France. The Paris-Roubaix is one of the oldest cycling races in the world and is considered a European classic. The Paris-Roubaix is famous for rough terrain and cobblestone roads, similarly the Cherry-Roubaix will include a short section of brick cobblestones on 6th street in Old Town Traverse City.
