루빌 최고의 라이딩 경로

The velodrome is officially called "Vélodrome André Pétrieux". The velodrome is named after a sports official working for the city of Roubaix. His father ran a café on the corner of Jules-Guesde Street and Lannoy Street, Chez Pétrieux. He was one of the founders in 1966 of the Vélo-Club Roubaisien, later the Vélo-Club de Roubaix Lille Métropole, an association with a development program for young cyclists, and since 2007 also a professional cycling team, Roubaix Lille Métropole. The velodrome has honored both cycling enthusiasts with his name since the spring of 2000 and before the start of Paris-Roubaix 2000. Source: Wikipedia

This velodrome isn't the first in Roubaix. In 1895, a Roubaix velodrome was built in the municipality of Croix. The track was built at the initiative of Théo Vienne and Maurice Pérez. This velodrome already served as the finish line for Paris-Roubaix, specifically for the first 19 editions until 1914, as Vienne was one of the race's initiators and organizers. The track's wood didn't survive the raids for firewood during the First World War. The entire circuit was demolished in 1924. ...so, in 1936, the current track was built in the Parc des Sports in the eastern part of Roubaix. It's a concrete velodrome with a length of 499.75 meters. Starting with the 1943 edition, the tradition that had prevailed until 1914 was revived, and Paris-Roubaix once again finished at a velodrome. Only from 1986 to 1988 were there any editions where the classic didn't reach its finale here. The velodrome also hosted the French National Track Cycling Championships in 1966 and 1971. Between 2006 and 2012, it also hosted an annual cyclocross race, the Grand Prix Lille Métropole, which was a stage of the Cyclocross World Cup in the 2008-2009, 2009-2010, and 2012-2013 seasons. In addition to the outdoor track, the indoor track, Vélodrome Jean Stablinski, opened in 2012. Source: Wikipedia

The penultimate cobbled section of Paris-Roubaix. I recommend doing part of it on the cobblestones to experience this very uncomfortable sensation (fortunately the cycle path is tarmac).

There were too many cars, even on a Friday afternoon, so I had to ride on the black edges when the cars came from behind. I'm looking forward to when this section is closed for a Paris-Roubaix weekend.

Nice, and original, 2 streets away from it, you won't expect to stumble upon this old Porte.

A beautiful and iconic spot in the city of Lille. This street is accessible to cyclists with a wide bike path that can be used as a continuation of Rue du Molinel or Avenue du Président John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
