2027 Spring Classics Tour with Sportive Breaks
Spend 12 days with us in Flanders and Roubaix on the ultimate Spring Classics cycling tour. Our team of local riders and mechanics will guide you around their home roads for an unforgettable experience.
The start of April is when the cycling world properly awakens from its winter slumber. There are all sorts of races taking place pretty much on a daily basis across Northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands over this crucial period in the racing calendar, but two giant events stand out above all others: the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix.
Both events have their own amateur cycling events taking place the day before on Saturdays. Amateur riders from all over the world come and test themselves on the same roads as the professionals the day after. Each Sportive offers a variety of distances from (nearly) full-distance challenges to shorter trips over the cobbles and bergs of Flanders and Roubaix.
On this tour you will stay in Oudenaarde which is the home of the Tour of Flanders. We Ride Flanders starts and finishes in Oudenaarde and the day after the Tour of Flanders men and women’s races also finish here. With Oudenaarde as out base we will also ride the final 100 kilometres of two other Spring Classics; Omloop het Nieuwsblad and In Flanders Fields – Wevelgem (formerly Gent-Wevelgem). After staying in Flanders we move to Roubaix where we will ride the cobbles and prepare like the pros before riding the Roubaix Challenge. Your tour culminates with a start to finish VIP experience hosted by Team Visma | Lease a Bike.
