Melburn Roobaix 2011 — Sunday 26th June
******************************************************





10AM — Melbourne City
The 6th Annual 'Hell of the Northcote' returns. For those unfamiliar with 
what has been a cycling cult classic over the past 5 years, Melburn 
Roobaix is a cycle rally based on the French spring classic 
'Paris-Roubaix' which is one of the oldest cycle races in the world. Like 
the French version the route incorporates some of Melburn's longest and 
bumpiest cobbled pave sectors, dirt tracks, cycle paths and finishes at 
the Brunswick outdoor velodrome. Unlike the French version there are no 
prizes for first, second or third.  It is not a race.

After catching the 8:58am train from Flinders St to Frankston we will be
