One of the most famous hills in Flanders will make its return in the Tour of Flanders. Last year the Koppenberg was left out of De Ronde, due to the state of the climb. The cobblestones on this hill are laid out very unevenly, which makes this steep climb very difficult. But the local council of Oudenaarde has done some renovations to the road, so now it’s safe again to climb this hill.
Unfortunately I can’t participate in this year’s event (for the cycling enthusiast, not the professionals), due to a total lack of training and more importantly a lack of time. My Neptune Cyclo friends are going to participate and I just know they’re excited to climb this hill again.
