La Doyenne is one of the oldest and most legendary classics in road cycling. This route follows the 2025 edition, running from Liège to Bastogne and back again.
Heading south through Houffalize, you'll take on the punchy Côte de Saint-Roch before rolling on to Bastogne. It’s not the toughest stretch, but there’s still plenty of climbing to keep things interesting. The ride back north is where it really kicks off. First up is the Col de Haussire near La Roche-en-Ardenne.
Once you pass Vielsalm, the climbs come fast. You’ll take on iconic climbs like Côte de Wanne, Col du Stockeu, Col du Rosier, La Redoute, and Côte des Forges. The grand finale is the, recently added, Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons before you drop back into Liège.
You can ride it solo, just be sure to prep well and plan your stops. Or you can join the sportive the day before the pros in April.
