    Yes. Sat/Sun only though.
    Going to find a bit of the tour of flanders route around Oudenaarde on monday before coming home.

    The teams are up if you haven't already seen:

    No word on the 'entertainment' as yet. Last year's break featuring Eddy Wally was a cue for a mass exodus to the bar/food stands.

    Posting for my parents as mum is in hospital and can't go. For sale- a pair of tickets for each day of the event. The tickets were 18euros each for each day. Hotel booking also available- double room.
    Anyone Interested?

    I went this year. Not sure who the entertainment was, but it was dire :lol:
    Worth it just to see the old derny riders.

    I went as well, what a fabulous spectacle annd an incredible track.

    The singing entertainment was Garry Hagger, after so many beers I thought he was starting to sound pretty good.

    I have to say the guys competing really earn their corn. There was a lot of riding and just watching each night was exhausting.

    I went to the Tour of Flanders museum in Oudenarde as well. What a place! Got a piccy with Freddy Maertens.

    I went I thought Garry Hagger was gonna have a coronary at one point, bit of a FB and sweating more than the riders. Great weekend though, we went to Koksjide for the world cup - god what a hard course and freezing cold as well. Just trying to get rid of the acne now from all the frites!
