New Cycling Tour in Belgium

Think of Belgium and 3 things come to mind: cycling, beer, chocolate! Or, if you are a war history buff, then maybe that comes in top 3 as well. So, the home country of the greatest cyclist Eddy Merckx forms the basis for a new challenging cycling tour we have designed for 2008.

In the past years we have tried under our brand Cycling Classics to get people to the actual Spring Classics in April, but that only saw limited success. So, for 2008, we open up the travel dates from April through September and offer a self guided trip any time. The routes are challenging and include the cobblestones of Tour de Flanders as well as some of the key climbs of that one day classic. We also incorporate the Eddy Merckx cycling route as well, and pack it all into a complete 4 night/ 5 day package! It is somewhat similar to our more leisure cycling trip listed on Pure Adventures, but the rides are much more challenging: longer, harder, and 'classic' - just like the pro spring races!
