Paris-Roubaix Sun 6th June
Hi,
Anyone interested in riding the Paris-Roubaix Sportive this year? It's only held every 2 years. Scott Bugden is organising a coach trip including hotel stay. 3 distance options, 60 miles (all the main sections), 100 miles (all the pave) or full 160 miles (lights needed as you start in the dark).
Stevie and I went 2 years ago and it's a fantastic trip. The package includes a cobblestone trophy and use of the famous showers. We are going again.
"This year's trip will be pretty much the same as previous years'. We will travel in an executive coach from London on Saturday 5th June, leaving at approximately 10am. We will stay overnight in the Formule 1 hotel just outside Compiegne on Saturday. There is a restaurant around 2 mins walk away from the hotel where we will eat dinner. On Sunday, we will leave the hotel at approximately 4am. The coach will stop at each start point in turn, we will ride the event before meeting at Roubaix and returning to London late Sunday night.
There will be two pick up points, Hampton Court and Folkestone (parking is available at both) and the same two drop off points on the way back.
During the ride, there will be a back up vehicle available at most of the checkpoints on the route of the ride so that you can collect extra food, clothing and so on. There will also be limited spare parts available from this vehicle. However, as in previous years, it will be your responsibility to get from whichever start point you choose to the finish at Roubaix velodrome.
Cost: £245 per person."
