With the start from Antwerp they seem to have added an extra 180km ride and with some later changes I assume all 4 routes have changed. Anyone got any detailed routes yet? Was going to enter the 130km but depending on the route, the 180km might be on.

It's not been released yet. I imagine some Flandrians will have an idea. I'm going for the 130k. It's a fair way from oudenaarde to Antwerp so it would be a very early start to get the shuttle or a decent drive back to Antwerp at the end. The 130 usually contains the best bits although it is shorter than the old middle distance. I assume the Muur and Bosberg will be in the middle route as they are back in this year. I've never had trouble getting a spot so you could wait for more info

The finish is the same as recent editions, just the start from Antwerp and the route to Geraardsbergen/Muur before cutting across to Oudenaarde and the finishing loop. Expect the first bit to be typically flat and windy.

We're going the week before [s]this[/s] next year, so we can see the Harelbeke and Gent-Wevelgem (probs spelled wrong) and do our own riding outside the sportive. Bit of a shame to be missing it, but still - Belgium for a long weekend. Brilliant.

Thats the site where info Will be on when released.

if the start will be in Antwerpen for the cyclo, expect a Long boring flat start

I do think it would be a LOT More enjoyable to Rose it on another dat then the Official cyclo. Its Always overcrowded, especially on the climbs.

LBL is a lot nicer (and harder) by the way
Would defenitely recommend over flanders if you want to do the Official cyclo

I tend to get out early (it's my third time if I go this year) and have never had an issue with the climbs being crowded. As for LBL I may do that but it's an easy drive from here so I don't need to worry about accommodation which means I wait for the week before to see the weather.
