This afternoon is my favorite race of the pro cycling season: the Paris-Roubaix, also known as "The Hell of the North." 161 miles. 27 section of cobblestones. And, today, there's a chance of rain.
The above video from 2001 shows American pro, George Hincapie, grappling with the cobbles, the mud, the crashes, and the flat tires that have made Paris-Roubaix a one-of-a-kind test of endurance.
