Paris-Roubaix and Tour of Flanders: Riding the Monuments
The cobblestones stretch ahead—centuries-old pavé that has broken bikes, bodies, and dreams since cycling's earliest days. This is where cycling's hardest riders earn their reputations. And this morning, it's your turn.
Paris-Roubaix. The Hell of the North. Tour of Flanders. The Ronde. Two of cycling's five Monuments, and you'll ride the iconic sectors of both.
"Getting to ride all the iconic parts of 5 cycling classics including Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix while being educated by an Australian cycling great in Stuart O'Grady was well worth it," says Albert Hayes.
Your guides don't just know these roads—they've raced them at full speed, wheels skittering across cobblestones while a peloton surges behind. Stuart O'Grady, who podiumed at Paris-Roubaix and conquered countless Spring Classics, shares insights between sectors:
Which line to take through the cobbles
Where Boonen attacked in his prime
How crashes happen before you see them coming
What it feels like when everything goes right
"The helpfulness of the staff who couldn't do enough for you, the access to VIP areas and quality of the accommodation meant that the 10 days were just fantastic," Albert continues.
Then race day. From premium spectator positions at the Arenberg Forest, the Koppenberg, the Carrefour de l'Arbre—iconic locations where Classics are won and lost—you watch today's stars tackle your morning achievement.
"Mummu delivered the passion of the spring classics," adds Tully Richards. "If you love the one day races, the cobbles, bergs and crazy fans, this trip is a must do."
This is the Monuments with Mummu. This is your weekend in cycling's holiest hell.
