Welcome to the Rocktown Roller-rama!
A friendly head-to-head competition to find out who has the fastest leg speed around!
Date: January 26, 2024
Location: Three Notch’d Valley Collab House - 241 E Market St, Harrisonburg, VA 22801 (right around the corner from Rocktown!)
Time: We will be set up a roller bike in the shop the week of the Roller-rama to get seed times. If you can’t make it before the event, we will have a chance for seed times on January 20th from 6-6:30pm. And if you’re still unable to make it for a seed time, no worries! You will still be able to participate.
The Rocktown Roller-rama officially starts at 7pm.
Held at the Three Notch’d Brewing Harrisonburg Collab House (just around the corner from Rocktown Bicycles), the Rocktown Roller-rama is an evening of non-stop fun!
Our 2019 event was featured on the Washington DC news! Watch the video below!
What is a roller race?
250m all-out sprint on fixed gear bikes attached to steel bases
Simple head-to-head race. Winner moves on to next round. We use a bracket system.
Times range from 10sec to 20sec
Once a rider gets up to speed, it becomes a race to see who has the fastest legs, not necessarily the strongest muscles
We remove the front wheel and bolt the bikes to the rollers, no need to balance
Leave your spandex at home, this is a party first, bike race second :)
Prizes
Prizes are awarded to the top three women and top three men of the night
Last year, every racer got a limited edition Roller-rama sticker. We’ll see what Rocktown Ken has in store for racers in 2024!
Seeding/setting up brackets
Come by Rocktown Bicycles the week before the event to lay down a seeding run on one of our roller bikes
If you do not stop by before, you will have to lay down a seed time at Three Notch’d between 5 and 6 pm the night of the event.
Seed times help us line all of the racers up for the evening’s event
