What to expect
We’ll start our journey cycling from Calais to Kortrijk then spend our days exploring the beautiful countryside in and around Kortrijk, Belgium, before heading back to Calais for our journey home.
The routes are designed to be accessible to all riders, with gentle elevation—no more than 120km with 550m on any single day—so you can focus on enjoying the ride and the scenery.
To make the experience even better, we’ve arranged for three nights in a luxurious spa hotel, complete with a pool, gym, and sauna for post-ride relaxation.
