P(ain)=(PARIS-to-NICE)^ouch

For my thoughts on PN found at yonder Velonews.com, click HERE.I've heard Paris Nice called the hardest race of the year. In fact, just moments ago I was chatting with a friend who is a veteran of many years of European racing, and he offer that unsolicited description. He was the sixth person to tell me that, which offers me some small sense of relief.I, for one, concur.
