Saturday 16 April, 2022 : Roubaix Challenge day
You will be able to see how the riders of the Men’s cycling elite handle the cobbled sectors of Roubaix tomorrow. Today it’s your turn. 24 hours before the professionals, amateurs from around the world will have the opportunity to measure themselves against the legend of the Hell of the North with its mythical cobbled sections like the "Carrefour de l'Arbre" and the "Trouée d'Arenberg".
You have a choice of 3 sportive distances today. The 70km and 145km start and finish at the velodrome. After an early breakfast and preparing the bikes, we will guide you the short distance to the velodrome for the start.
The premium 170km event is back in 2022. However, the number of places is limited due to the fact that Paris–Roubaix Femmes will be taking place on the same course and day as the Paris–Roubaix Challenge. The 170km distance is reserved for seasoned cyclists. The average speed needed to reach the Velodrome by 4pm is 30km/h on asphalt roads and 15km/h on the cobblestones (the Challenge covers about 50km of cobblestones). If you are unable to maintain this speed, the local authorities will ask you to leave the course and find your own route back to Roubaix.
The long distance Roubaix Challenge starts from the small town of Busigny, you'll need to make your own way to Busigny this morning.
All sportive distances finish at the Roubaix velodrome. From here it’s just a short distance to get back to our hotel.
This afternoon and early evening re-pack your bikes ahead of travel and you’ll also be able to return your rental bikes. We’ll be back at the hotel in the afternoon and this evening we’ll eat at the hotel together.
