Paris Roubaix

Anyone else here a huge cycling fan?

Great race yesterday and a hugely deserved win for Philippe Gilbert.

I got to fulfill a lifelong (well, since I discovered cycling at like 12 or 13) dream yesterday by watching the finish of Paris-Roubaix in the Roubaix velodrome!

Stood right next to Gilbert as he was giving some interviews outside the Quickstep team bus after winning

Careful, you are showing way too much of your fanboy.

I watched cycling a tad about 15 years ago, but gave up when the Tour winner changed with each week's medical report... Lines gotta be drawn somewhere, and I draw them where guys ride a bike for five hours with a bag filled with somebody else's urine in their pants...

Wow, that is extremely cool, watching from the Velodrome...I am a big cycling fan also, and was cheering when my fellow countryman Matthieu van de Poel managed to win the Amstel Gold Race

I have been to the Tour de France a couple of times, I was lucky to be there in 2005, when Dutchman Pieter Weening won a stage in the Vosges!

I just arrived from Palma de Mallorca from my early season cycling camp to my home town Helsinki, Finland. The temperature in Palma was about +20 C and now in Helsinki it’s – 10 C in the early morning before the sun will eventually warm it up to +3 C.
