The start

Make sure you arrive at the start on time. Soak up the atmosphere before the race begins. This year, everything will be bigger than ever before.

On the way​

During the ride, you’ll be accompanied by a few retro motorcyclists and retro support vehicles, which add a touch of colour to the whole event. 

There are several refreshment stations, depending on the distance chosen. Technical assistance is available at each of these stations.

Accommodations

There are plenty of lovely places to stay in Oudenaarde and the surrounding area. Click here to find out more Visit De Vlaamse Ardennen. Don’t forget the Flandrien Hotel, one of our supply points. Click here: Flandrien Hotel. Flandrien Hotel.

Arrival

No need to rush home. Keep enjoying yourself. Because, as I said, this year everything will be bigger than ever before.

Check your equipment in advance

We recommend that you first thoroughly check your equipment (pedals, brake pads, gears, tubes... ) before coming to Oudenaarde. The old(er) material is often more susceptible to defects. It would be a pity if you had to interrupt this beautiful bike ride.

How to get there

Oudenaarde offers ample parking in the surrounding area. There will be a car park on Tussenmuren street. However, this can fill up quickly, so it is best to park at the rear of the Centrum Ronde van Vlaanderen (Ham car park) near the Scheldt. There are permanent ‘P-Ham’ signs from the N60 exit, or you can enter ‘Smallendam - Oudenaarde’ into your satnav and it will take you straight to the car park.​ Click here for more information on how to get there.
