The Paris-Roubaix bicycle race, nicknamed "The Hell of the North,"
is famous for sending riders over brutal cobblestone roads. Only
the strong, brave and lucky survive the hours of bone-shaking
racing without suffering some mishap or catastrophe. It is so
difficult no one wins it by accident, and winning Paris-Roubaix
automatically puts a rider among the immortals of the sport. How
did that come to be? At one time roads everywhere were paved with
cobbles. Why did Paris-Roubaix emerge to be such a special race?
Les Woodland tells the inside story: how one of cycling's classics
grew from several 19th century businessmen's plan to bring cycling
to the mill town of Roubaix. It wasn't a sure thing, and several
times it seemed the race might die. It's a fascinating tale, so
fasten your seat belts, Les is going to take you on a bumpy ride.
