Goody, goody, it's time for the cobbles! 
For those of you with access, J Sports Plus has the Tour of Flanders tonight starting at 7.50 pm
This year we see the return of the infamous Koppenburg

which rears its ugly head at 22% (thats right hillfreaks!) and it is going to be WET. Those of us heading up Kusatsu might be interested in this one!
Look for lots of spills and thrill on this one ladies and gents, its going to be a lot of fun (as Hannibal Lecter once said).
Next Saturday J sports (Channel 32) has the Paris - Roubaix, the granddaddy of all the Spring Classics.
A couple of interesting articles for those wanting a bit more info:
From Velonews:

Also check out the Graham Watson Flanders gallery on this site, this is where I lifted the first picture.
and from PezCyclingnews:
(these guys always have very interesting reviews and generally go out and ride the courses and take pics so it is a fascinating look at what the race will be like. Is it only me that thinks cyclingnews.com is getting rather dull?)
