The famous Arenberg forest passage, 2.4km long, is a key cobblestone sector in the 'Hell of the North'. Coming with 90 kilometres to go before the Roubaix velodrome, it has been included in the race since 1968. It was omitted only three times since then: in 1976, 1983 and 2005, when it needed to be restored. (text from Cycling news, 22th October, last friday)
actually, it has not been included between 1974 and 1982 and it came back again in 1983 up today (except in 2005).
