Breakfast will be prepared early, in fitting with event times, after which our coach (and bike trailer) will transport you and your bike to the start of the 2022 Paris Roubaix Challenge. The start of the event will be held in Busigny for this year’s 172 km (long) distance. Start time range from 07:00 until 09:00, however we aim to be there early, giving you enough time to prepare. Busigny is approximately a 90 min drive from Roubaix, then, once we arrive, you can set off as soon as you are ready. We will collect you, for transport to the race, direct from the hotel Ibis Lille so you do not need to head to the velodrome. We will use a bike trailer to safely carry your bike.
