Do you know of any last minute withdrawals for Sunday's VC Roubaix sportive?

I've rented a car to get from Roubaix to the start but now may not have a driver to get the car back to Roubaix.

Obviously, I'm more than happy to reimburse.

Please PM me.

    Awesome, awsome time. I didn't think I'd have that much fun but it was great. The weather was glorious, light cloud cover and a bit of sun breaking through. Despite being a lot warmer and drier than 2010, there were fewer people on the cobbles at any given time so one could pick and choose lines at will - this is crucial.

    Importantly, the bike was flawless. In fact of 14 of us who did the long route only 5 flatted and they were all up and running again quickly. To those who think Ultremo ZXs are flimsy, this 83 kger rode a 28C ZX up front at 85-90psi and it did not even get a cut or nick. Granted cobbles are not as sharp a hazard as flints/broken glass/discarded carpet tacks etc.

    Will post the Garmin link when I download it. Will be interested to see how flat the profile is, although over 210kms we surprisingly did 900 vert meters.

    Ok, so not the most exciting of Garmin traces: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/188331896

    Organizers really sent us around the houses to take in as many cobbles as possilble. You can tell that a lot of stretches between the fields have been paved over b/c they look & smell like a cobbled sector but you're riding on black-top instead of babies heads.

    Anyone else ride?
