Tour of Flanders Yellow Loop
Cobbles take center stage on the yellow loop, a 102 km ride packed with rugged classics like Huispontweg, Doorn, the iconic Paddestraat, and Kerkgate. But it’s not just about the stones. Climbs like Wolvenberg, Nokereberg, and the legendary Molenberg are in the mix too, giving your legs plenty to work with along the way.
Zwalmstreek
Starting in Geraardsbergen, this loop takes you into the heart of the Zwalmstreek. Expect climbs like Vossenhol, Berendries, Pottenberg, and Valkenberg to keep your legs honest. There’s under 500 meters of cobbles, so it’s all about the rhythm of the climbs. On the way back to Geraardsbergen, Café Après Vélo or the Flandrien Hotel clubhouse are perfect spots to make a stop.
Berendries loop from Oudenaarde
The Berendries loop serves up a solid mix of classic climbs like Wolvenberg, Lagendries, and Leberg, paired with 8 km of cobbles through Haaghoek, Paddestraat, and Ruitersstraat.
Pays des Collines
The route heads into Pays des Collines, rolling into the French-speaking part of Belgium. It’s a chance to explore quieter roads and soak up the charm of Wallonia at your own rhythm. There’s plenty of variety to keep things interesting, but it never feels too much.
