The cobbles are calling. An amazing tour for cyclists keen to experience the Northern Spring Classics in all their glory.

Get your year off to a flying start. Ride the notorious routes that the Pro peloton muscle their way over in all kinds of weather. We've included all the classic race routes, and will be there to witness the 2027 editions of the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix.

This tour includes all things that have a uniquely Belgian twist - beer and frittes, chocolate, cobbles and Northern cycling passion.

You can choose to register for one or two of the Sportifs that honour this Northern cycling season - the Flanders and/or Paris-Roubaix Challenges.
