Paris-Roubaix Spectator Weekend

​Today we’ll visit the famous Flanders museum and Oudenaarde, where the Tour of Flanders finished last weekend. The museum is a must for cycling fans – the entrance hall has each winner’s name displayed on its own cobblestone, an excellent gift shop and is steeped in history. See how cyclists used their bikes in WWI, walk through the history of the classics and try your hand at the cobbles! There’s heaps of memorabilia; from Eddy Merckx’s bike and Johan Museeuw’s Mapei jersey, to a bust of Tommy Simpson and an old-school Flandria team car. After lunch in the Peloton Café and a short stop in Oudenaarde we will head to the Velodrome in Roubaix! We’ll try get access to the famous showers, photo opportunities and enjoy the amazing atmosphere as thousands of amateur cyclists complete the Roubaix Gran Fondo

Could you even think of a better final full day than this? You’re going to watch the legendary Paris Roubaix!

We’ll leave early and drive to the start where we’ll have breakfast in the VIP lounge and have access to the exclusive team warm-up and sign-on area! Watch the bikes being prepped, the cyclists warming up and passing by just inches from you, as crowds stand behind barriers and you’re in the paddock with the teams. A spectators favourite!

As the riders head off we’ll get in our private vehicle with its VIP sticker, allowing us to drive on the closed race roads. We’ll have a mid-race stop to watch the cyclists come past on the cobbles, then we’ll head up to the velodrome. In our VIP Classics Club we can watch the race on giant screens, enjoy the free canapés and open bar, and get ready to see the cyclists as they head into the velodrome. A once in a lifetime experience!
