| In a kind of homage to the famed Paris-Roubaix, Rapha appear to be organising something for April 11 over here. Full details not yet available but judging by this http://www.rapha.cc/hell-of-the-north-110410 it looks like Ed's bike might be suitable. |

My interpretation of the route http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3621516 is here. I might differ slightly as some bits are a tad off road 
Lets see if I can entice people. ED - It's ideal for your cyclo-cross bike and there's free beer and frites afterwards.
Tanya - no, it's probably a bit tough for you, but there is likely to be a hose to clean your bike with at the finish. |

Ha-ha also known as "white roads" by rally hobbyists ( from their colour on OS maps )... tempting short cuts that are almost always best avoided unless you fancy leaving your sump behind.
Good Luck! |
