Flanders offers racing cyclists a new challenge: conquering legendary cycling climbs within 72 hours. The Flandrien Challenge is spread over 59 segments on the legendary roads of Flanders.
The Tour of Flanders is one of the five monuments of cycling and looks back on a long cycling tradition. The Flandrien Challenge now offers cyclists the opportunity to test themselves on the legendary routes. Koppenberg, Paterberg, Molenberg and other hurdles add up to a tough cycling test. Segments of the most important cycling roads have been linked on Strava.
Those who manage to conquer the 59 segments within 72 hours are not only added to the virtual list of fame. In the Centrum Ronde Van Vlaanderen, the name of all successful finishers is engraved in a real stone and inserted into a wall.
All information about the Challenge can be found on the official homepage https://cyclinginflanders.cc/flandrien-challenge
