Barry-Roubaix, America’s largest and most successful gravel road race, started out in freezing conditions for 4300 graveleurs in Barry County, Michigan on Saturday, with temperatures barely reaching 40F throughout the day.

It was quite a change from last year’s race, when riders sweated for hours in temperatures above 80F and choked on clouds of dust

Winning the 100-mile Psycho Killer event, including 7000ft of climbing, with a time of 4:58:26 was 23 year-old Daxton Mock. This result, combined with a seventh place finish at the 2023 USA Gravel National Championships, confirms he is one of the up-and-coming young gun gravel superstars. Myles Mark (5:04:18) and Nicholas Stanko (5:05:39) completed the podium. Erin Omara was the first woman in 5:23:08.

David Brower (2:52:09) and Devon Clarke (3:06:09) won the men’s and women’s 62-mile Killer race, with Ben Shields (1:39:53) and Katja Opfer (1:47:26) doing the same on the 36-mile Thriller route. Sarah Black (59:48) for the women and George Swinand (51:09) for the men were fastest in the 18-mile Chiller race – named appropriately for the day’s bone-chilling conditions.

Barry-Roubaix will be held almost a month earlier next year, 29 March 2025.
