Our Ride to the hills of Flanders


Robert and I rode up to two of the hills of Flanders, Knokteberg & Oude Kwaremont. Knokteberg was a good little climb, but Kwaremont was 2.5 kms of rough cobbles. I'm pretty sure I'll have ridden my fill of cobbles by the time this trip is over. We put in a a very hard 108 kms. and I'm pooped. Tomorrow we watch the pro's ride the hills.

going and coming through Belgium there's a town call Tournai and a beautiful town square. On the way back the parades were starting for a festival and everyone was in costume.
