Paris - Roubaix Live on the Big Screen

Facebook EVENT PAGE
A night out for all bike racing lovers! Paris - Roubaix , the third monument of the cycling season, at Freo's fave new pub The Local showing the race live on the big screens. Come early from 7pm to indulge in some French flavoured food and to participate in the race orientated TRIVIA QUIZ.
WEAR YOUR FAVE VINTAGE BIKE JERSEY to be in the running for one of a number of prizes. But please no Lycra!
FREE ENTRY!
RSVP interest ; Philip@jarrahrecords.com
or just rock up on the night,
Paris-Roubaix, aka "The Hell of the North," has enough cobbles to shake bikes and bones to bits, and enough bad weather to make it treacherous even for the best professional cyclists. The race follows a 270-kilometer course between the suburbs of the French capital and the northern industrial city of Roubaix, and its long history and location have made it pivotal in attracting cycling's superstars and testing their reputations.

Where are the best (worst) cobbled streets around Freo? Perhaps a few people would like to hit them pre-race for a bit of bumpity bumpy. The only one i could think of is Adelaide st Freo... but they are nice and smooth.

The only problem I see is that this has been advertised on KMBC facebook page and they will laugh at cobbles as they regularly ride over rocks, tree roots and get airBB creek wrote: ...Melody wheels > you might get a bit of extra business from all the wheels knocked out of true also

There's some brick-paver clad bits of road in Coogee (e.g. Duchart Way area) but these don't really count. The speed humps at the south beach end of South Tce , on the other hand.....BB creek wrote:Where are the best (worst) cobbled streets around Freo?
