Itinerary
Day To Day
Arrive in Roubaix today by your own means, or for simplicity why not take our Sportive Breaks transfer departing Brussels International Airport (BRU) at 11:00am? This is available for £60 single or £120 return.
If your flight falls outside of our pre-arranged group transfer time please contact us about private transfer options from BRU Airport – we can happily assist with a quote for you. Click here for full transfer details.
Today our staff will visit the Paris-Roubaix Expo to collect your race packs for you. These will then delivered to your hotel and should be available from early afternoon.
For those of you who have also ordered rental bikes through us, these will also be available for collection throughout the day at our hotel. Don’t forget your peddles!
Our bike mechanic is also available on arrival to assist you and ensure your bike is ready for the challenge ahead. At 14:00pm we will head out on a warm-up ride to allow you to spin your legs, check your bike over, experience the cobbles and hone your technique before the big day. We estimate this ride to be approximately 30km.
Todays the Day!
Long route: Our transfer leaves our hotel in Roubaix at 05:00am sharp. Please ensure you are at the coach early to allow time for us to load bikes and still get away on time. The transfer to the start in Busigny takes approximately 1hr 30 minutes. It’s then time to embark on the ride back through the famous cobbled sectors and culminating in the Roubaix Velodrome. The start is a rolling start between 07:00am and 07:45am.
For those tackling the Medium and short route: Starts vary between 07:00am & 09:00am for the Legend ride (145km) and 09:00am & 11:00am for the Discovery (70km) ride. The starting line is located just a short 3km ride from our hotels.
Today there are two options available to catch the pro race:
- Option One – Watch from the cobbles. A Sportive Breaks Cycle Guide will lead you on a guided ride to Carrefour de l’Arbre to watch the pros pass. This is a full-day cycling trip to spot the pros tackle the cobbles without watching the finish in the Velodrome.
- Watch from the Roubaix Velodrome: Enjoy a leisurely morning in town and watch the early sectors from one of the Roubaix’s many Cafes or bars, before travelling to the velodrome to watch the end of the race from the track centre of the Roubaix Velodrome.
Please make your own travel arrangements for departure or make use of our optional airport transfer to Brussels Airport (additional cost).
