9 April 10:55 PM Sunday, in Central European Time is 4:55 PM Sunday Central standard time??? Daylight Savings time? Now my brain hurts.
Is youtube a good source for watching Paris-Roubaix?
We have ATT cable, I seldom watch it and near as I can tell it is 1000 channels of crap. It might be on the cable in Polish or something, that would be OK too.

If bicycles were meant to be ridden on cobblestones they’d have caterpillar tracks!

How about the years when those cobblestones are wet and slick??!! Nasty times.... not for me, thanks.
There’s lots of good stuff on TV Try the history channel or Animal Planet. Flip channels. Do you guys get c-span? . It6’s quite good from both sides of the aisle.
There’s always C-pan.org, as well, which shows you actual governmental debates.
Highly recommended, to be fair. 7am to 10 am is the normal time. I think yous guys would really enjoy this program. :)
I think the program is called Washington Journal and that they have specific call in numbers for dems, repubs, and indys. Quite interesting , actually. No holds barred.
Sorry. Cspan.org. Hopefully, you’ve already figured this out.
Here’s the link: https://www.c-span.org/
If a Berlin street has cobblestones you are allowed to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk, otherwise not.
thanks for posting.
This is a “ tooth rattler”. If you have ever ridden the “ cobbles” you know what I mean.
Never did this race, but have ridden on very short sections of true cobbles and they are a test...
This is something that many of you guys are missing.
For example: House of Parliament meetings with Theresa Mae. It’s a sight to see, among others.
Actually watch the internal working of the government.
Also great to sleep to, as there are no commercials.
It’s something I like, so please take advantage of it before it disappears, will you?
Please do.
Things I like always tend to disappear or be discontinued. Shoes, spaghetti sauce, freedom, you name it. Free Republic.com itself is in danger, simply because I like it!
Not really. I don’t get it. Could you explain it more clearly?
I haven’t looked at the route in a while, but isn’t it something like: Dirt road, cobbles, dirt road, cobbles, paved road, cobbles, dirt road, cobbles, paved road, velodrome? Something like that.
Only cobblestones I’ve ever encountered were on River Street in Savannah. Dates to the 1700s. I’d ride them on a dry day, but wet or icy I might end up in the river.
I have ridden on what is called ‘cobblestone’ around the Midwest. Most is brick, some are granite pavers.
And always DRY.
They did not look as mean as the photos of Paris Roubaix cobblestones.
From the photos, they appear fatal to man and machine.
Thanks for the ping.
I dig it tomorrow and watch.
Thank you.
Stout wheels are needed for the Forest of Arenberg. Nothing less than 32 spoke 3 cross.
