Garmin Paris Roubaix Competition 2010

During March 2010, Wiggle teamed up with Garmin to offer a superb competition where you and a friend can win an exclusive trip to watch the exciting one day Paris-Roubaix stage.

The Paris–Roubaix is a one-day professional bicycle road race in northern France near the Belgian frontier. Since its beginning in 1896 until 1967 it started in Paris and ended in Roubaix (hence the name); since 1968 the start city is Compiègne (about 60 kilometres (37 mi) north-east from Paris center), whilst the finish is still in Roubaix. Famous for rough terrain and cobblestones, first run in 1896, Paris–Roubaix is one of cycling’s oldest races. It is well known for the many ‘cobbled sectors’ over which it runs, being considered, along with the Ronde van Vlaanderen and Gent-Wevelgem to be one of the cobbled classics.

We are very pleased to announce the winner of this awesome competition is Sandra Goodwin and Her Partner Martin Goodwin Your travel and accommodation will all be paid for so all you have to do is enjoy the day and take a few photos!

Here is what Sandra had to say!

I’m over the moon. Cannot wait to tell my husband who knows nothing of this competition…..yet. I bought the Garmin for his birthday so this is excellent. We are both keen cyclists and watch all the cycling on the TV. We both cycle with a club every week, winter or summer. I’m not that good frankly but my husband is better and is entering lots of sportives this year. Together we are doing the Dragon Ride in Wales in June and Le Ronde Picard in September in France so this will be a great trip to see cycling in France and meet the Garmin team. Great stuff. Can’t wait to tell him – thanks so much.
