We are<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">the town most central to the cobbled climbs of the <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Ronde van Vlaanderen (the Tour of Flanders), the most important race in Belgium so it&#8217;s not surprising that cycling<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">is so popular. Children start cycling early having spent a few years commuting on the front or back of a parent&#8217;s bike <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">and bikes are often given right-of-way above cars on the roads, so it is relatively safe. Graveling is a popular sport in <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Oudenaarde too, a little different to the tame on-road commutes to and from work. Learn more about graveling <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">and cycling in Oudenaarde when you book a stay at Leopold Hotel, a cyclist-friendly hotel in the city centre.<\/span><\/p><h3>Cycling in Oudenaarde<\/h3><p><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Oudenaarde is a great city to cycle.<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">The annual Tour of Flanders race is one of the coolest and most <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">well-attended organized<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">cycling<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">events in existence and the practice you\u2019ll get on a trip to its closest <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">city is invaluable. The weather in the region sometimes makes it a difficult place to cycle, creating a <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">challenge and pushing yourself to its limits.<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">A trip to the Flanders region of Belgium is thought of as a <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">pilgrimage to the most hallowed grounds in the sport sharing the roads where natives Eddy Merckx, <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Johan Museeuw and Tom Boonen became legends.<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Once renowned for its tapestry production, for a <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">century now Oudenaarde has been the central access point to a network of loops connecting the <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">cobbled climbs of De Ronde. The city is home to<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Centre Ronde van Vlaanderen, a museum dedicated <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">entirely to the race and our place in Belgian cycling history. There are several thousand square feet of displays of <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">memorabilia like jerseys, bikes, tools and more \u2013 enough to satisfy even the most hardcore cycling enthusiasts.<\/span><\/p><h3>What is Graveling?<\/h3><p><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Seasoned cyclists will have noticed the boom in the popularity of graveling in recent years. Gravel <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">riding tends to describe riding a drop-bar bike on unpaved roads and trails, fitting somewhere <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">between road cycling and mountain biking. Gravel riding can encompass all types of terrain, from <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">actual gravel to wooded singletrack and everything in between.<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">versatility is key when it comes to <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">gravel bikes and riders need to be experienced and confident to take on this slightly more dangerous <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">form of riding. Taking the road less traveled enables riders to hone their passion for exploration and <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">adventure and provides an opportunity to try a new racing discipline.<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">It provides a respite for roads <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">and traffic, two pain points for traditional cyclists.<\/span><\/p><p><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Koppenberg, Kwaremont, and Oudenaarde are all world-famous landmarks in road cycling but what <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">happens when you mix in famous cobbled hills with gravel, singletracks and unknown roads? Enjoy a <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">demanding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclinginflanders.cc\/routes\/bergs-gravel\">85km gravel ride with 1.500m of climbing<\/a><\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">on the most demanding terrain in Flanders on <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">the road less travelled. Some of these routes have held their place in cycling for over 100 years but <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">we encourage brave riders to explore famous routes from their less popular and more difficult sides. <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Don\u2019t expect an easy ride \u2013 the ground is uneven and the roads are muddy, but that\u2019s all part of the <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">appeal! Best completed between April and October, you have plenty of time to plan the ideal <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">graveling trip and book the perfect accommodation.<\/span><\/p><h3>Bike-Friendly Accommodation in Oudenaarde<\/h3><div id=\"pdf_asset_id_1242967039_page_2\" class=\"pdf-preview-page-wrapper with-margin\"><div class=\"react-pdf__Page\" data-page-number=\"1\"><div class=\"react-pdf__Page__textContent textLayer\" data-main-rotation=\"0\"><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">The Leopold Hotel Oudenaarde is a 4* boutique hotel in the city centre of Oudenaarde in the heart <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">of the Flemish Ardennes.
