The Mist meets Twilight in this epic romantic tale of a mysterious island and the houses that have stood for centuries to guard against the dreaded nightmare of beings waiting to strike from the ocean’s depths Intrigued? Well read on to discover the synopsis and an excerpt from Eleven Houses by Colleen Oakes which is out October 22nd 2024.On a forgotten part of Nova Scotia there lies an island.On that island are Eleven Houses.In those houses sit eleven ancient families.And they are waiting…Mabel is one of the last surviving members of House Beuvry one of the eleven houses on the haunted island of Weymouth are spent readying her house for The Storm: a once-a-decade event that pummels the island with hurricane-level wind But that’s not all the Storm brings with it—because Weymouth Island is a gate between the world of the living and the dead.When Miles Cabot arrives on Weymouth Island after the death of his mother he realizes quickly it isn’t like other places—and Mabel Beuvry isn’t like other teenagers There’s an intense chemistry between Miles and Mabel that both feel yet neither understand—nor the deadly consequences that will come with it.With the suspicious death of an island elder a strained dynamic with her younger sister Hali and the greatest Storm in years edging ever closer Mabel’s life is becoming as chaotic as the weather One thing becomes clear: if the fortified houses of Weymouth Island can’t stand against the dead then she—and everyone she loves—will pay the price.Fares Well the House That’s Ready beautifully designed and comes with everything you need to engage your visitors and increase conversions You don't have permission to access the page you requested What is this page?The website you are visiting is protected.For security reasons this page cannot be displayed Be one of the first to try our new activity feed From Hornaing through the Carrefour de l'Arbre and onto Roubaix the 29 kilometers of pavé that help make up the 2022 Paris-Roubaix Femmes when the men’s peloton was competing in the first-ever edition of Paris-Roubaix or work without their husband’s consent Each race since in its long history has added to the legend that enshrouds Paris-Roubaix like so many of the myths and legends that are told It took 124 years for a Paris-Roubaix Femmes to be organized, and 125 years for it to be raced, as the 2020 edition was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Already, Paris-Roubaix Femmes seems steeped in history. With her hands bloodied by her handlebars that had juddered up and down on the wet cobbles, Lizzie Deignan (Trek-Segafredo) rode into the Roubaix velodrome last year alone to become the first-ever winner. Now, on the hallowed cobbled sectors of northern France, the women’s peloton will add another layer of history to the race. The race begins on the longest and one of the hardest cobbled sectors in Paris-Roubaix. Starting in the small village of Hornaing, this sector skirts the railway line and passes by the twin water towers that loom over the course. In 2021, Deignan accelerated just as the peloton hit the Hornaing on an 82km race-winning solo attack. Beginning with a sharp left-hand turn, this sector then unwinds in a straight line so that it is possible to see riders up the road. By this point in the race last year, Deignan was nearly out of sight and a minute ahead of the peloton. A post shared by Paris-Roubaix Femmes (@parisroubaix_femmes) This sector is almost completely flat but features three, right-angled bends that are notoriously difficult to navigate. Last year, the peloton disintegrated on this sector due to various mechanicals and crashes leaving just 32 riders remaining, after a mere 50km of the race. Discovered and restored by Les Amis de Paris-Roubaix — the volunteer group that maintains the cobbles on the course — half of this sector was specifically laid for the race itself. While nothing significant has happened yet on this sector in Paris-Roubaix Femmes, it still plays an important role in accumulating fatigue and making the race exceptionally difficult. Although this sector begins in a relatively benign fashion, it crescendos to a 600m false flat with broken pavé under the wheels. Perhaps fittingly, the latter section of this sector is ominously named the Chemin des Abattoirs — the “Path of Slaughterhouses.” A false flat — and a surface so bad that it was removed from the men’s race in 2007 and 2008 — marks this sector as particularly difficult. As the rain fell on the race last year, the cobblestones became increasingly treacherous. On this sector in 2021, Anna Henderson (Jumbo-Visma) crashed in a pile-up with other riders while Lotte Kopecky (then Liv Racing) punctured and was forced to take her teammate’s bike. A post shared by Paris-Roubaix Femmes (@parisroubaix_femmes) A relatively short sector that signals the last 40km of the race, the difficulty of this road is still illustrated by the grass growing in the cracks between the cobbles, creating a slippery surface. Two sharp left-hand corners, the second occurring about two-thirds of the way through the section, are the primary hazard in this sector. Last year, the race somewhat reset behind the lone leader Deignan as a group containing Longo Borghini swelled the ranks of the second group on the road. Except for the final ceremonial sector in Roubaix, this is the shortest sector in the race and is normally relatively inconsequential. It is largely flat and not too long. There is some respite between Templeuve and Cysoing as the riders return to tarmac roads for five kilometers. This sector begins on a relatively good surface which soon makes way for the customary broken roads which are so emblematic of Paris-Roubaix. A post shared by Paris-Roubaix Femmes (@parisroubaix_femmes) Following just a kilometer after the previous sector these two cobbled roads are a significant obstacle particularly since they arrive so close to the finish with nearly 100km and 10 cobbled sectors of fatigue in the legs The road surface here is so choppy that there is no smooth line and in 2021 this sector was race-altering for many riders providing both a chance to attack and to be struck by misfortune Eventual runner-up Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) accelerated away from the chasing group in pursuit of Deignan while one of the pre-race favorites Ellen van Dijk (Trek-Segafredo) crashed along with Leah Thomas (Movistar Team) and Sarah Roy (then Team BikeExchange) Deignan also nearly crashed on this sector but managed to stay upright The road on the Carrefour de l’Arbre peaks and troughs as if it were a wave sloshed over the cobblestones by one of the tractors that pass down it It is the second and last five-star sector of cobbles and its proximity to the finish marks it as one of the most important points in the race Vos began to chip away at Deignan’s lead in this sector the sector at Gruson formed the last part of the Carrefour de l’Arbre There are just a few meters of tarmac between it and the previous sector making it still an honorary extension of the Carrefour If a significant move does escape on the Carrefour this sector could well determine whether it makes it to the finish or not the penultimate sector of pavé is the last true opportunity to attack Since it is used by traffic as well as in Paris-Roubaix and Paris-Roubaix Femmes so it is possible to escape the worst of the cobblestones the cobbles in the town of Roubaix are utterly different from those forming the rural tracks around it created in 1996 to celebrate the race’s centenary and are not intended to affect the race as it edges towards the Roubaix Velodrome Bomb disposal experts went to neutralize the WWI explosives The head of the area regional disposal unit said that they were initially called after ‘some’ ordnance had been found Experts with metal detectors discovered there was considerably more He added it wasn’t common to find so many shells concentrated in one location They will be destroyed at a military facility Previously undiscovered shells from the war suddenly exploded in December 2015 in a field in Sailly-en-Ostrevent (Pas-de-Calais).

Here's your detailed guide to the Hell of the North. Each pavé sector is a chapter in the 115-year tale of Paris-Roubaix. There are no easy cobbles, which exist on a scale from merely difficult to hellish, and on race day there is no escape — barriers and crowds line the route and cut off access to the dirt paths and concrete gutters that one can glide onto any other day of the year. [related title=”More on Paris-Roubaix” align=”right” tag=”Paris-Roubaix”] Each stone tells a story of tires flattened, races ruined; tales of rearing up and, with the slightest touch, ripping a sidewall or sending a wheel skittering sideways like a frightened cat. None should be underestimated. Any sector, any stone, can alter the history of the day. For 2017, Paris-Roubaix will tackle 29 sectors, totaling 55 kilometers. The entire race is 257km long, and all the pavé comes in its latter two-thirds — the first 97km are smooth, rolling pavement. Roubaix is unpredictable, but predictably so. The length, roughness, and placement of each sector within the race determine its importance to the race narrative. No pavé sector can be ignored, but some deserve extra attention. Roubaix breakaways can be quite large. But the size is less important than composition — without any pavé to break up the race naturally, the move that sticks is the one with the right riders from the right teams. No big names allowed. Here, the race begins to build. Tensions rise, nerves fray, and the battle for position commences in earnest. The race cannot be won on these early pavé, but it can be lost. A flat or mechanical issue here won’t leave a rider off the back all day, but it will cost precious energy to return to the bunch. Domestiques will push as hard as possible to bring their leaders into each sector near the front of the group, lest an early split does form. Nonetheless, patience is the key. “There’s cobble sector after cobble sector so you just have to stay calm,” UnitedHealthcare’s Chris Jones said. “There’s gonna be some point during the race where you’re in the wrong spot on the cobbles, and you can’t panic. Because if you panic early, you’re never going to be there in the finish.” 26. Viesly à Briastre (112.5 – 3,000m) +++ A new addition to the route for 2017, this sector is being renovated, but route designer Thierry Gouvenou says it is still quite difficult. Slightly uphill, this sector is short, but it may be a tough one. It is also new for this year’s route. The race is on, but more often than not, these kilometers are home to vicious attrition rather than searing attacks. Favorites will fall off the wheel, one by one, until only the day’s true protagonists remain. The cobbles here are vicious, full of holes and dips. Even the crown, the only place that is consistently rideable at Arenberg, sees its share of half-dislodged stones and deep dips caused by abandoned mines running underneath the road. The top of each stone is well polished by years of use, though the trench sees no vehicle traffic today. A street sweeper is run over the sector before each race, but even so, the pavé of Arenberg can be dirty, muddy, and are guaranteed to be slick as ice when wet. The Arenberg does not pick Roubaix’s victor, but it does create a group from which the winner will be selected. The first two sharp turns are to the right, the last is to the left. Sometimes, though, they take it a bit easier here, wary of Mons-en-Pévèle, which lies directly ahead. Riders drop into Mons-en-Pévèle with speed, and the first few hundred meters are at a slight downhill, helping them hold onto that velocity. But the sharp right hander and flatter second half sap the legs. This is one of the most difficult sectors on the course. The field has been whittled down to just a handful of strong riders, mostly leaders with one or two teammates, if they’re lucky. Here, the race switches from attrition to attacks. Twenty-six kilometers remain, and every move must be covered; teams with more than one rider will begin to play the tactical game, while solo artists plan their moment. 7. Cysoing – Bourghelles (230.5km – 1,300m) +++ The pavement between the two is important, though, as it’s an opportunity to regain some speed. Those who can stay on the gas as they exit Carrefour will enter Gruson with an advantage. Those already struggling are doomed to lose contact in the acceleration.
