Me at the end of the penultimate pave section, taking my bike to its spiritual home on the Paris-Roubaix
I was rather pleased that the bike will accept 28mm tyres (though I rode on one 25mm, one 28mm), and came through unscathed other than some paint rubbing off the plastic bottle cages where the bottles were shaken constantly on the 32 sections of cobbles - but they stayed in, unlike those of many other riders.
And again on the banking on the victory lap of the velodrome with a couple of clubmates.
