 Fancy your chances
at emulating Stuart O’Grady, Fabian
Cancelara or Johan Museuw? Do you want to find out what it
is really like to ride the cobblestones of Paris Roubaix?
The Paris – Roubaix cyclo is a classic cycling event
which follows the exact route of the professional event (260km)
including a lap of the famous Roubaix velodrome. There are
also shorter events of 190km and 120km. The event attracts
thousands of other cyclists from all over Europe which provides
that special continental atmosphere.
Our
coach together with a Graham Baxter Sporting Tours vehicle
will follow as many of you as possible, giving feeds and
mechanical back up, but there will be numerous organised
feeding stations and mechanical service present. Our accommodation
is in Compiegne on Friday and Saturday for the start and
Roubaix for the finish on Sunday.
