Your Sportive Entry and bib for tomorrow’s LBL challenge will be given to you at the hotel.  The expo is open today for your enjoyment.  A rental bike, if you have opted to rent one and leave your’s at home, will be fitted to you by our mechanic.  All are welcome to join our guided warm-up ride this afternoon.

More About the Event

The Liege Bastogne Liege Sportive is the hardest sportive of the spring classics. For amateur riders, the ultimate challenge is to do the long distance and ride the same route the pros will ride on the following day. You will climb Côte de Saint-Roch (the wall of Houffalize), Côte de Wanne, and Côte de Stockeu. 

Shorter distances of 90 miles and 45 miles are available. All Sportive distances start and finish near Liege.

Please note that the start and the finish of the LBL Challenge is no longer in the center of Liege. The Sportive now starts and finishes in Sprimont.
