Need some help here.

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!

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.

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...

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.

At various junctures, the cause seemed lost, and even on the final lap of the velodrome, it briefly appeared as though the Belgian had squandered his chance. This time, however, Van Avermaet was not to be denied, as he saw off Zdenek Stybar (Quick-Step Floors) and Sebastian Langeveld (Cannondale-Drapac) in the finishing sprint to shake off the very last vestiges of his nearly-man tag.

Tom Boonen (Quick-Step Floors), riding in his final race as a professional, was prominent throughout and part of the key selection that formed after Mons-en-Pévéle, but he was caught on the wrong side when the leading group split with 30 kilometres remaining. Despite showing flashes of his force of old on the Carrefour de l'Arbre, where he was willed on by an expectant public, he was unable to close the gap. He finished the race in the large chasing group that came home 12 seconds down on Van Avermaet, and ends his career level with Roger De Vlaeminck on four Paris-Roubaix victories. - VeloNews
