Just rode Arenberg Monday morning. I got little past the bridge until I broke a spoke. Nobody tells you in advance it is downhill and you pick up lot of speed. It is easier to float over the cobbles going fast, but the road is also bumpy as hell so it is really easy to break your gear. Stay safe and take the five star sectors easy. The others are not that bad.
