Cosette wanted to visit a new country after our Saturday grocery shopping. Therefore, I used this as an excuse to take a quick trip to the home of the oldest Spring Classic. While the city itself is quite flat, it is surrounded by a very hilly landscape. I now see why this race favors the climbers and is used by the grand tour contenders as an early season race to test their climbing legs. Besides cycling, this city has a lot of other historical significance. It is in the French speaking area of Belgium, and has a very old look and feel that is quite different from my immediate surroundings in Germany.
Bis später
Hi hope you treating Cosette for some Belgian chocolate while you were checking out the local bike shops....
