Flandrien Challenge Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival

Please make your own arrangements to arrive at the hotel in Oudenaarde. Our team will be available to meet you at the hotel. If you plan to fly then we offer airport transfers for you, your luggage and your bike from Brussels International airport.

Day 2: Ypres

75km + 914m ↗

A shorter day to get warmed up for the days to come. After breakfast we will transport you over to Ypres from where we will start today. Your bike is loaded onto our bike carrying vehicle and the transfer takes about 1 hour. Kick off the Flandrien Challenge by conquering the 9 segments in the Kemmelberg area made famous by Gent - Wevelgem. Afterwards transfer back to Oudenaarde and a bit of time to rest and have a massage before the evening meal at the hotel.

Day 4: Oudenaarde

190km + 2300m ↗

Today we start and finish in Oudenaarde. Taking in 12 climbs and 7 cobbled sectors, as well as countless ups and downs, day 2 of the Flandrien Challenge is where you'll really earn your spurs as a True Flandrien. 190 Kilometres and 2,300 climbing meters beginning with a coffee at the Centrum Ronde Van Vlaanderen. Highlights are the Muur van Geraardsbergen and various other Tour of Flanders climbs.

Day 5: Oudenaarde

142km + 2232m ↗

It may be "only" 142km today but today boasts almost as much climbing as Day 2 in addition to the legendary combination of Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg & Koppenberg. The route contains no fewer than 23 climbs and the gradients on this route are consistently steeper than on the previous 2 days. After today’s ride we will go to the centrum Ronde van Vlaanderen to validate your achievement with photos of your cobble on the wall in the Café.

Day 6: Departure

After breakfast it’s time to go home. You can take home your personal cobble stone and it will will also be displayed on the wall in the centrum Ronde van Vlaanderen and you'll have the Strava files and photos to prove it!
