ROUTES

The Ardennes classic

We offer routes for gravel riders of every level. You can choose between four routes of 55, 70, 110 and 150 km. 
The routes will lead you through the Ardennes hills and forests and offer a combination of surprising gravel, unpaved roads and some tarmac. The elevation gain will be between 1200 and 2800m, depending on the distance you choose.
More information about the route
Those who choose one of the two shortest loops will ride in the morning. Participants who prefer one of the two longest distances will ride in both the morning and afternoon. All routes have a feed station. At noon you will return to the festival area to get spoiled with a tasty Bavet pasta (veggie too and it's included). 

Find out your legs ain't good? No problem. You can choose and change your distance at any time. We will release the GPX files by email a week before the event.
