Off to France with my boy to watch stage 5 and the cobbles and am after any hints and tips from people about where to park and watch the cobbles near Arenburg

We have bikes with us so a few k ride to get there is no worries.

Staying near Ypres the night before so could we see the start and get down to watch in time ?

Cheers for your help

I went and saw a bit of Paris Roubaix this year, watched them through Wandignies-Hamage then legged it to Roubaix to watch the finish about 50km away. I had loads of time, even with the race traffic and having to take a roundabout route, looks like your journey will be further but you're only going to go quicker in a car than they are on bikes, I would imagine you'll be fine. ๐Ÿ™‚

I thought it might be that way - cant believe the crowds will be bigger than for Paris Roubaix

And you'll hopefully have the added advantage of it being the less business endy part of the day. ๐Ÿ™‚

Don't think they ride the arenberg just finish there. I'm going to the Hornaing stretch.
