This route is a  rouleur’s paradise, plenty of hills nothing too severe, momentum your friend. The only cobbled stretch is up the Kemmelberg.

Brilliant rolling countryside.

Quote

“The Kemmelberg is a savage little climb made harder by the up and down effect of the hills before it, by the deadly Flemish roads and by the speed of the race. I loved it.” – Barry Hoban, winner of the 1974 Ghent-Wevelgem.

Downhill on cobbles

Looking down from the top of the Kemmelberg is the Monument to fallen French servicemen and women. Careful on this steep cobbled descent. Many professional riders crashed over here. So keep focussed.

Congratulations. You survived. Time for beers!
