The 29 Strava sectors of Paris-Roubaix

The first man across the line in the velodrome surely won’t be chasing Strava segments along the way, but still, it is fun to see how fast they ride the Arenberg Forest. If you’re fortunate enough to be over in northern France, perhaps you can have a go at a lesser-known segment to see how you stack up. But to do all 29 segments in a 257km day? Well, that just sounds hellish.
