MONUMENTAL: A Bikepacking Tribute to Belgium’s Greatest Races
MONUMENTAL is a multi-day gravel & bikepacking adventure celebrating Belgium’s cycling heritage. Inspired by the Ronde van Vlaanderen and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, this self-supported event connects the legendary climbs of both Monuments through as much off-road as possible.
Choose between two epic routes:
- Flandrien Tour (300 km | 3,500m D+) – Tackling the cobbled bergs of the Flemish Ardennes and the forested trails of Brabant.
- Grand Tour (700 km | 10,000m D+) – A true ultra-endurance challenge crossing the Ardennes, featuring icons like La Redoute and Stockeu.
Expect a mix of gravel, cobbles, and stunning landscapes, from the wild tracks of Zoniënwoud and Hallerbos to the rolling climbs of Flanders and Wallonia. Whether you ride fast or take your time, MONUMENTAL is about adventure, resilience, and the pure joy of exploring Belgium by bike.
Go fast or take your time—this is your adventure.
I love cycling, but bergs & cobbles are not my cup of tea.
