2023 Subscriptions martin Posted December 23, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 This from cyclingews forum (so the comments on 'easy' aren't mine!) Don't think Valkenberg has cobbles though. -Course is 5 km shorter -5 new hills: Tiegemberg, Nokereberg, Rekelberg, Kruisberg & Valkenberg -They'll do the Paddenstraat again (not in 2010) -3 hills gone: Den Ast, Kluisberg & Berendries (Berendries because of road works) But biggest changes might be for 2012. Then the contract with Bruges (start) & Ninove (Finish) expires. Oudenaarde & Ronse are candidates for a new finish. New Hills: Tiegemberg Length: 750m, Average : 5.6 %, Maximum: 9 % Can't find a profile. I've ridden it. It's easy Nokereberg Lenght: 375m, Average: 5,7%, Max: 9% ... Even easier than Tiegemberg Rekelberg Length: 800m, Average: 4%, Max: 10% ... Never even heard of it Kruisberg Lenght: 1800m (first 500m are cobbles), Av.:4,8%, Max: 9% ... Can't remember if i've done it in the past, but seems harder. Valkenberg Length:880m, Av.:8%, Max: 12,8% ... I like this one... So: more hills (but most are easy), no Berendries, Cobbels of the Paddenstraat re-entered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
