Course Overview
The Ronde van Vlaanderen Cyclo gives amateur cyclists the chance to ride cobbled climbs, narrow lanes and legendary bergs of Belgian cycling. The course covers many of the same iconic sections as the professional race — the Koppenberg, Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg — and finishes in Oudenaarde just like the pros. Cobblestones and steep ramps demand more than raw fitness: bike-handling and tactical riding matter enormously.
