What to expect

Brussels to Flanders cycling tour. Ride a 100km route through Flanders, including the Muur and Bosberg climbs from the spring classic Tour of Flanders. For over a decade now, I have been refining a series of cycling road tours in Belgium. In this offering, you have the chance to ride a small part of the slivers of tarmac and pavé that I have ridden so many times exploring routes from Brussels, connecting dorps to villages and towns, until we reach the Muur van Geraardsbergen (The Wall). It is both a test of your ability as a cyclist and an homage to the routes that have made Belgian early season classics so memorable. My original route to the Muur, first ridden 20 years ago, has been adjusted, adapted, tweaked, refined as I have tested roadways to cowpaths until today where it has become, in my opinion, one of the more original routes to ride. I am Karl-Heinz, better known as Kardama, a Finnish cyclist, once a semi-pro trained in the Soviet Union, who now considers Belgium to be his home - and whose first ride in Belgium was from the capital to the Muur. This tour is not a competition. It's a tour to celebrate the Belgian classics history - The Home of Cycling.
