Paris Roubaix Challenge 2012 Cycling Holiday
Bring your bike and ride the cobbles of the Paris Roubaix Challenge!
Friday 30th March to Monday 2nd April 2012
Now in it's second year, the Paris Roubaix Challenge is organised by the same people behind the cycling pro's Paris Roubaix, the ASO, who also organise the Tour de France and L'Etape du Tour Mondovelo.
2011 was a test run for the event, and we expect the 2012 Paris Roubaix Challenge to be bigger and better. It is being held on April 1st in 2012, a full week before the pros race over the cobbles.
The event will cover a good proportion of the pro race route and cover many sections of the famous cobbles, before finishing at the Roubaix Velodrome.
SPECIAL OFFER - secure your entry at £50, when you buy a travel package.
