NEW Paris-Roubaix Bike Tour

Ride your own Paris-Roubaix on the course and the cobblestones a day before the pro cyclists do it for real!   Next April – in 2011!

 

Cycling fans have heard of the cobblestones of northern France and Belgium where some of the toughest cyclists’ dual every spring.   Paris-Roubaix is possibly the biggest and most well known of the Spring Classics and new in 2011 is a chance for amateurs to feel those roads in an event known as a cyclosportive, a long distance, organized, mass-participation cycling event held annually.

 

Like Etape du Tour at the Tour de France where participants ride over a closed course full stage, the 2011 Paris Roubaix cyclosportive will be over closed roads but will most likely only cover between 100 and 200 km of the 259 course.  

 

We are organizing a tour for up to 10 persons that is 4 nights long and includes VIP access to the pro’s and back stage media areas and finish line. Can you handle what many call "A Sunday in Hell"? For details, click here…
