Off-air antics: L’Enfer du Nord

April 14th, 2008 · 4 Comments

One of the advantages of being off air for a while is more time to get out and about, for instance, a quick trip sous la Manche to watch the 2008 Paris-Roubaix, the Queen of the Classics. Just shy of 260 kilometers, with around 55 kilometers over the brutal pavé (cobblestone farm tracks) of northern France. Camera: Andy Curry, William Greswell.

And a few stills:

If all this makes you want to test yourself on the toughest single day course in cycle racing, the Paris-Roubaix cyclo-sportive on 8 June is still accepting entries.

    Andrew, there’s no podcast, just a short video which you should be able to see on any Flash-enabled browser. Let me know if it still isn’t appearing.
