The routes offer a great combination of Flemish cobbles, surprising gravel, unpaved roads and yeah... there will be some tarmac as well. It's the classic, on gravel, so you'll climb hills like the famous Oude Kwaremont and Koppenberg. Halfway there will be a nutritious and tasty lunch (it's included) and barista-made coffee.
