Paris Roubaix sportive 2012
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

I trust that you also encourage motorists to buy white or yellow cars and to shun vehicles the colour of a wet road?

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.
Here's some background on the issues surrounding this year's inaugural event:

Thanks for the links, I know there was some issues this year sections missing on velodrome finish on the Aso event. Hope this is sorted for next year
The link i put up does finish in the velodrome
It is also sanctioned and run by ASO
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:
