Had thought about going across to take part on the Sat then watch the pros for my birthday but the plan has fallen through 🙁

Other suggestions? Paris-Roubaix seems to be tour operator only and would cost too much. Got few weeks holiday 21/5 until 15/6 but could probably get a long weekend outside those dates.

Quebrantahuesos would be a possibility if it weren't for the fact my mate (who i'd want to come) is doing cxtri the same day 🙁

Anyway suggestions welcome, doesn't have to be abroad either I know there are probably some great races here I just don't know what the are

The 'proper' Paris-Roubaix Sportive (the one that follows the actual race route rather than the dumbed-down ASO version) is the first week of June... and costs approx £20 entry fee from what I recall.

We're quite tempted by the Gran Fondo Prosecco - guess what they have at the feed stations?
