    Hello all,

    Has any one done the Paris Roubaix sportive? The one where you ride most of the event and even do a lap of the velodrome? Fancy a challenge and this looks like it would be that! Can you point me in the direction of who organises the trip google is popping up quite a few options!

    Thanks

    You need the VC Roubaix event
    You need the VC Roubaix event which is run in June and not the soft-tapping, spendy version from ASO which misses out all the best bits. The VC Roubaix event supports the maintenance of the parcours too.

    The link i put up does finish in the velodrome

    All riders must cross the Finish line at ” Velodrome de Roubaix ” to have a final ranking

    It is also sanctioned and run by ASO

    That’s not actually the one
    That’s not actually the one where you finish in the velodrome (at least it didn’t last year). the link is to a newer event run by ASO. This is the original one, it’s cheaper and definitely finishes in the velodrome:
