"Paris-Roubaix, l'enfer du Nord"Roubaix..means hard life since I was a baby




There is place in this world that have had the meaning of HARD since I was a baby, the name is Roubaix.A name I wanted to give to a pet or I wanted to call to a little brother.Roubaix...That's a place I have seen on Tv plenty of times but It was in a place of nowhere.I didn't know where it was (but I discovered it when I was 27 :D ), Belgium,France,Nederland????
I thought The Paris-Roubaix was a race for not human racers, just for heroes, many kilometres of pain to reach a city so ugly but wonderful at my eyes(I adore industrial archeology), a velodrome to end the way to the hell.
I would like to go there to taste the smell of the PAVE', to feel what does it mean to ride for kilometres in mud, and under the rain on a slippery pave' to gain glory into a velodrome.
BUT...WHERE'S ROUBAIX???
