The Hell of the North. Unfortunately I don’t have Eurosport. Will have to settle for The Masters.

Just hit the cobbles for the first time....

I’m going to struggle with cycling, football and golf on

England is an awful place to be a cyclist. The roads are of poor condition and over crowded. Death traps

Couldn't agree more....Killing cyclists is seen as an occupational Hazard,with very few prosecutions.

Road surface is no where near as bad as Ireland but one of the reasons I left was two or three road rage incidents almost every time I went out on the bike. In 14 years here I’ve had two occurences and both drivers were in UK plated cars.

I rode part of the Paris Roubaix course in my cycle racing days many moons ago,i wont forget riding over those cobbles, my goolies were never the same after lol, these lads are as hard as nails, they dont roll about over the ground screaming like most fotballers, up they get on their bikes and off again. One of the toughest sports there is out there, great race is this one, sorts the men from the boys.
