Achterberg
Oudenaarde
Situated close to the Tour of Flanders Centre, this is a great steep climb to start your ride. The climb was used 4 times in the Ronde (1998-2001). It's essentially a quieter and more direct route up onto the ridge that makes up the backbone of the Flemish Ardennes.The maximum gradient is 11% and you'll be rewarded at the top with a panorama of the surrounding countryside. A perfect introduction to Cycling in Flanders.
