The KBK Cyclo offers a meticulously designed course that caters to all levels, starting in the Leie region with a proper warm-up and fully immersing riders in the Flemish Ardennes and the hills around Ronse. The longest 140 km route is a true test for the seasoned cyclist, but there are also shorter options for those looking for a more relaxed ride. (kuurne.be)
