Jacques Tati said:If you book the Eurostar London - Lille far enough in advance you'll probably get a day trip for £55 per person return. From Lille you could go to Roubaix Velodrome there is fast tram link to Roubaix and then a short walk to the velodrome. They have live TV playing from when the riders hit the first cobbles and after the race has finished you can get to see loads of the riders team coaches etc as all usually end up at the velodrome and its surrounding roads. You see the race, the finish and dont have to get involved in the annual rat race across northern france to catch glimpses of the race.
First train from St Pancras on sunday is around 08.50 you arrive in Lille wth plenty of time to get to the velodrome, I usually come back around 20.00 in the evening....always a good day out...Ian
is it that easy to get into the velodrome i assumed it would be almost impossible to get into..
a lot depends on how i am healthwise.. if im good then we really want to get to one of the sectors somehow pitch the tent and enjoy the cobbles, if im not so good then the roubaix idea would work for us, we can hotel it, but no cobbles.. hmm.. not so sure... also depends on money, but my redundancy should be through by then...
erm.. side note.. guys can we resize images or something before posting, that big image is really screwing up my screen...
