Flanders Fields Gravel Tour (May 24-26, 2024)
Biking Events (since 1999 organizer of the LCMT "mountainbike" more days tour) launches a new cycling event: the 1st Flanders Fields Graveltour. Also a three-day tour but now from the home base where Biking Box (Cycling Experience Center ) is located: YPRES! With this tour we focus on the many cycling and historic (WW I) trails that Flanders Fields offers.
Recently we worked very hard to make this unique gravel three-day event possible. We now officially present this new top weekend in terms of cycling experience in Ypres and Flanders Fields.
The Flanders Fields Gravel Tour incorporates the proven success ingredients of the LCMT. An excellent all-in package: signed tracks, food- and sportdrinks supply zones, goodiebag, massage and mechanic support, a daily time trial zone, as well as many lodging options (see 'lodgings'). You also receive the magnificent Poppy-Graveltour jersey (included in your subscribing amount) of which 10 EUR goes to a to be selected 'good purpose'.
Not in a position to go for the full three days? No worries! It is possible to ride only the weekend stages.
You can ride the Flanders Fields Gravel Tour on a gravel bike, mountain bike or cyclocross bike.
The three-day Gravel Tour is also included in the cycling calendar of Wielerbond Vlaanderen (who has a permit as a cyclist or rider does not have to pay additional insurance).
