Paris-Roubaix Challenge

[Stuart]

Fancy riding 163k's of the Paris-Roubaix course? well now in 2011 you can!

With 18 cobbled sections, totalling 31.6km, pain will be considerable; something Dutch journalist Sander Slager can testify to after sampling the route. “It’s the first time I’ve cycled round here, and it's very challenging,” he says. “The cobbled sections just keep coming and coming.” He reckons it's hard to train for an event like this, saying riders should think more about their bike’s setup and their technique on it, rather than physical fitness.
