Respect to you upside down . Also did this ride on Saturday. Your description is close to perfect for the Aranberg section which was my first experience of cobbles. Had been warned by mates that had ridden it last year and described it as a horror show . But like travelling to India back in the day no description can actually prepare you for the Aranberg. I would liken it to the opening scene in saving private Ryan and was just glad I survived to tackle the remaining 17 sections. Would not like to do that ride in bad weather. My respect for professionals grew even more after the whole experience as well
