Ronde van Vlaanderen 2014

[Jimbo.]

Nearly time again. Aside from the phenomenal cold, last year was a giggle. 22% hill? Why not cobble it and funnel 16,000 cycles up up for good measure?

Anyone else going?

[BMWBen]

I'll be there! I'm not sure it's really a good idea.

[gazza285]

I'll be at the Ronde Van Calderdale instead.

I'm going. Medium route (85m) for me.

Flanders is the one ride more than any other that I want to do. Hope its filthy weather and you all feel suitably Belgian whilst enjoying it!

Enjoy a malt-based post-ride recovery drink or two.

Jealous...

I was riding yesterday evening with a mate who's doing it. He says he's never watched the RVV race on TV, I told him that was a good thing as at least he doesn't know completely what he's let himself in for

Tempted to join you next year, looks a lot of fun. I just need to make use of the terrain offered by my new home, and my lovely new carbon bike to actually get fit now...
