It is not the riders that make the Tour of Flanders so special, it is the Flemish people. In addition, it is the land of the people that makes up the race. Remember, if Paris-Roubaix is in your heart and Liege-Bastogne-Liege is in your legs, then the Tour of Flanders is in your heart. And most importantly to win, professional riders have said, you must have Flanders in your blood.

Welcome to the Spring Classics! With a canal view room in the heart of Ghent, we begin with a ride to Wannegem-Lede and an introduction to the cobbles across the iconic 1600 meter Huisepontweg, recognized by its windmill, dating to 1783. A visit to the cycling café De Karper for a Genst Strope beer is perfect preparation for dinner with Antoine Pinto in his unique restaurant Belga Queen, a converted canal side Guild House.

The Muur van Geraardsbergen is where many a legend cemented their legacy with victory in the Tour of Flanders. Leman. Vanderaerden, Museeuw, Cancellara. A mere monument now, our ride brings these legends to life over the original finale- Haeghoek, Leberg, Berendries, Tenbosse, Muur and the Bosberg-as the terrain of the Flemish Ardennes grabs hold. The other legends of Flanders- the Flemish Foodies- have changed the culture of food in Ghent and tonight is perfect for exploring this.

The Tour of Flanders is the longest running bike race, having run non-stop since 1919. The cobbles and climbs tell thousands of stories, created heroes, villains and foes. Every year, we take advantage of living our own legend on these same roads to create new stories of conquering the most famous roads in Flanders. The streets of Bruges are ready for the 101st Ronde and Chef Renout Renier welcomes us at his modern restaurant Zeno.

ITS ABOUT THE PEOPLE
We know the names of the great Belgian cyclists that have colored the sport- Merckx, Van Looy, Planckaert, Boonen, Gilbert. But what about the Flemish fans? The men and women, old and young, the children, that embrace the riders and their race, the Tour of Flanders. The Tour of Flanders was created to unite the region and its people, to provide a link between towns during a period of civil unrest. The race still belongs to the people and their land, their hills and their cobbles. And every Belgian rider will tell you the same thing.
