History

We organised our first (recumbent)cyclingtour in 2006, under the name of Ecotour. But since the Ecoutour is annually organised in an other country, we chose to change the name in 2007 into Flanders Tour. We picked this name because our tours take place in the Flanders. Another reason for picking this English name is that we're trying to make every tour an international one. In the last 3 editions we had 4 different nationalities participating. Flanders Tour is more than just a bicycle trip. Everyday, we make a cultural or a sportive stop. In last editions, we visisted the Duvel's brewery, the Diamond museum, the bare-feet-trail, the Skull museum, etc. Every time we try to offer a varied program to fullfill everyones needs.

Practical

  • We spend the nights in tents.
  • Your tent will be transported for you, all the rest needs to be transported by yourself with your bike.

FAQ's

Here you can find answers to most questions :

Can I already register ?
No, not right now. The date that registration is open, will be announced on the website.

I cannot participate for a whole week, can I ride along for just a couple of days ?
No, people who take the whole tour, have priority. If however at the end of the registration period places still are available, the organisation might consider this possibility.

Do I need to transport my own luggage ?
Yes, you do. Only the tent you sleep in will be transported for you, all the rest must be taken with you by bike.
