Welcome to the Rocktown Roller-rama!

A friendly head-to-head competition to find out who has the fastest leg speed around!

Date: February 21, 2020

Time: Seed times for the Roller-rama will take place the whole week of the event. Seed times before our 7pm START for the Roller-rama will take place up until 6:30pm! If you do not make it to a seed time, we will just place you randomly on the bracket.
The Roller-rama starts at 7pm and usually runs to 9:30pm.

Location: Three Notch’d Valley Collab House - 241 E Market St, Harrisonburg, VA 22801 (right around the corner from Rocktown!)

Our 2019 event was featured on the Washington DC news! Check out 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 2020!

• 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
