Cancellation Flanders Tour !

We are very sorry to inform you that the Flanders Tour for 2010 is cancelled. Main reason for this is the lack of registrations. We only have 4 registered entrees at this time of writing, which is way too little to have the tour started. Besides this, the organisation recently lost 3 members because of changes in their jobs, which doesn't allow them to participate.

Finding places to spend the night has also been a nightmare this year. So far, we still don't have any written confirmation from any soccer field, boy scouts club etc. which is new to us, since finding camping places has never been a problem in the past.

It was not an easy decission to be made, but considering everything we believe it is the right one. We could have waited another couple of weeks with this announcement, but since we do not expect much more entries it is only fair to inform those who are already registered as soon as possible, so they can adjust their holiday plans.

The people who already registered, should have received a personal e-mail about this years cancellation. Those who already transferred money for the tour, will get the money back on their account as soon as possible.

Edition 2010

The Flanders Tour 2010 will take place from Monday 19 July until Friday 23 July. This year, we will be biking in the Northern part of Vlaanderen, close to the border with the Netherlands, which we will cross one some occasions. This part of the Flanders is almost completely flat, so the only uphill we'll encounter will be bridges.

Departure and arrival for this year will take place in Ravels, up north close to Turnhout.

registrations can already be send to flanderstour@gmail.com .

Just to make sure, here's our list of FAQ's :

Can I already sign up for the tour ?

Yes, you can. Simply send an e-mail to flanderstour@gmail.com. Be aware that your registration is only valid once you transferred your participation fee !

Price is still the same : 175€/person for the whole week.

What is included in the participation fee ?

Included are : 3 meals a day (1 hot meal, 1 breakfast buffet and the opportunity to prepare your own lunch), the spending of 4 nights and all visits during the tour.

Not included : everything you drink or eat while visiting local pubs or at night in the canteen.

What about luggage ?

The only thing that will be transported for you, will be your tent. Everything else needs to be transported by you and your bike, so pack up wisely !

Is it possible to join for only a couple of days ?

People who join us for a full week, will have first priority. Only when the maximum of participants is not reached, it will be possible to join us for just a couple of days.

Is it possible to spend an extra night before and/or after the tour ?

For those who want, there's a camping site nearby (only 3 km from the starting point), called DE BAALSE HEI. There you will have the possibility to put up your tent or rent a hiker's cabin. Remember : you have to take care and pay for these extra nights yourself, these are not included in the participation fee of the tour !

All the necessary info about the camping can be found HERE

How big is the group ?

To keep things running smoothly and safe the maximum number of participants is limited to 20 riders.

In case the number of minimum participants is not reached, the organisation has the right to cancel the Flanderstour. Should this be the case, all registration fees will be returned completely.
