Paris-Roibaix Race this Sunday

For fans of LeTour, and cycling in general, the famous Paris-Roubaix race is on this Sunday. Nothing like a pack of pro bike racers trying to negotiate wet pavers on farm roads.

Coming from a family with a bike racing background I enjoy watching the telecasts of the big races from Europe. The cobblestone sections are anxious enough to watch let alone race over.

Dusty Roubaix

Incredible dust this year. Imagine how much they must be sucking into their lungs. Still plenty of crashes even though its dry.
