Today, you don’t just watch history, you ride it.
This is your chance to take on one of the most iconic routes in all of cycling: the Tour of Flanders Sportive. With thousands of fellow riders from around the world, you’ll line up and ride the legendary roads just 24 hours before the pros battle it out.
Starting with an early breakfast prepared by our hotel in Gent, we’ll head straight to the start line, buzzing with anticipation. The 130km course is the true cyclist’s choice; it captures the heart and soul of Flanders, tackling the famous final 13 climbs of the pro race. Expect a day of challenge, camaraderie, and cobbles. Lots of cobbles.
You’ll ride over the revered Molenberg, test your legs on the brutal gradients of the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg, and grit your teeth as you tackle the Koppenberg, a steep, narrow, cobbled monster that has broken many legs and made many legends.
After crossing the finish line and soaking in the atmosphere, we’ll regroup and head back to Gent. Time to relax, reflect, and recover, with a celebratory Belgian beer, a big serve of frites and mayo, and a smile that says, “I did it.”
- Ride the 140km Flanders Sportive, tackling legendary climbs like the Koppenberg, Oude Kwaremont, and Paterberg.
- Join thousands of passionate cyclists in one of the UCI’s Golden Bike events.
- Post-ride beers, frites, and stories back in Gent, just as the Belgians do it.

The Tour of Flanders
Today is all about one thing, De Ronde van Vlaanderen, the Tour of Flanders, a true monument of world cycling. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing a Classic in the flesh, with fans lining the narrow roads and the sound of cowbells echoing across the fields, this is your moment.
The Tour of Flanders isn’t just a race, it’s a national celebration. The entire region of Flanders comes alive, pouring into the streets with flags, beers, and passion that has been passed down through generations. From the cobbled climbs to the fierce crosswinds, this race has crowned cycling’s greatest legends, names like Eddy Merckx, Tom Boonen, Johan Museeuw and more recently, Tadej Pogacar, who stunned the peloton in 2025 with a solo victory on the iconic Oude Kwaremont.
We’ll get you to the heart of the action, with prime viewing spots along the route and the electric finish zone in Oudenaarde, where fans roar and riders collapse after one of the most demanding races on the calendar.
You’ll feel every pedal stroke and be swept up in the spirit of Flanders; this is cycling at its rawest and most beautiful. By the end of today, you’ll know exactly why they call this the heartbeat of Belgian cycling.
