Rated by many as the greatest one-day race in cycling, Paris-Roubaix is also one of the toughest with a well-earned nickname of "Hell of the North". It's the third of the cycling season's five Monuments, usually taking place the week after the Tour of Flanders and a fortnight before Liege-Bastogne-Liege.
Three distances are on offer for sportive cyclists. The two shorter routes start and finish in Roubaix, while the 170km starts in Busigny and finishes with a lap of the iconic velodrome in Roubaix. After the ride, you can even use the same spartan shower facilities as the pros.
A shuttle bus service from Roubaix to Busigny is available for riders on the 170km route as an optional extra, and you'll also have the chance to snap up a souvenir while booking. Choose an event jersey or even your very own 1.5kg cobblestone.
Whichever route you choose, Paris-Roubaix offers a fantastic opportunity to sample the best of one-day racing at your own pace in the company of thousands of enthusiasts.
Best of all, the next day you can sit back with a beer and recover while watching the pro peloton blitz the same route at double speed!
