Paris-Roubaix, a one-day bicycle race in northeastern France, is known as "The Hell of the North" for good reason. Although the course is somewhat flatter than the other spring classics, it includes interminable stretches of muddy farm roads paved with rough-hewn cobblestones. All of the history and excitement of the world's most famous one-day bicycle race is captured and comprehensively illustrated with hundreds of spectacular colour and black-and-white photographs in this lavish, oversized format.
