RetroRonde 4.11

‘The RetroRonde van Vlaanderen’ is a colourful cycling event during which riders from all over Europe wear retro clothing and ride classic bicycles.

The RetroRonde is not a competition, it’s a leisurely Sunday ride. You can choose to follow a route of 40, 75 or 100km through the rolling landscape of the Flemish Ardennes and up and down those well known cobblestoned slopes which make the race so famous. The bicycles you ride should date from before 1987 and so should the clothing you wear (see rules at our website for exceptions). You can stop in some of the scenic locations along the road, and refuel with local food and drink.

On Saturday there’s a group ride to the most legendary hills of the Tour of Flanders, there's a swap meet, and a sprint race as well as a swinging' Retro Soirée. So you'll have plenty of opportunities to warm up those legs for the next day!

So grab your old bicycle, come on over to Oudenaarde and have a ride with us!
