This trip suits Beginner, Intermediate and Expert riders. The core Flanders Experience routes are approachable for most fitness levels — on Sportive day you have the option to choose a longer or a shorter route based on your fitness level.
A daily support van follows the group throughout the trip, giving you the full pro experience. It carries spares, snacks, drinks, and any spare gear or jackets you want to shed mid-ride.
During the Ride Flanders Sportive, we set up our own dedicated feed zones along the route — just like the pros get. You’ll find snacks and drinks stocked and ready, and you can drop off your own bidons or specific nutrition ahead of time so it’s waiting for you when you ride through. Our team is on hand at each zone, and there’s basic mechanical assistance available too, just in case you need a quick fix to keep going.
Yes, a single room supplement is available and you choose it during the booking process.
A road bike with 30-32mm tires is certainly more than enough. You can also do it with 28mm. A gravel bike is not necessary.
After booking, you will receive an email with the instructions to sign up to the event.
If you’re planning to ride the Ride Flanders Sportive, some endurance and climbing preparation makes a real difference — steep gradients on cobble roads like this reward riders who’ve built specific climbing endurance rather than just general fitness. If you’d like a structured plan built around this trip, visit our cycling coaching page and Matteo can help you put together a plan based on your current level and the time you have before you travel.
Beyond your usual riding kit, bring extra layers, and some rain gear since is early season and you can expect the frequent showers. Our full guide to packing for a European cycling holiday covers everything else you’ll need for the week.
