What is the weather going to be like?
Spring temperatures are usually cool with pleasant daytime temperatures(40F-60F). Belgium’s lush green landscapes and northern location mean that it can be hit with the odd cold spell and rain shower. Warm layers and a waterproof shell are highly recommended.

What are the daily rides like?

On all of our vacations, Trek Travel strives to find quiet, paved secondary roads or bike paths to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible. Belgium Spring Classics is best suited for our Type 4 Riders. Our Trek Travel guides can also easily accommodate Type 3 Riders, who seek less mileage or fewer uphills, with a boost in the van. Type 4+ Riders will enjoy the extra mileage the avid route options offer. The terrain is Varied with rolling plains. Hills can be steep and can involve cobblestones. See Itinerary for specific daily ride distance and elevation options.

What are the options for a non-rider travel companion?

On most Trek Travel trips, we offer non-riding options for riders who want to take the afternoon off, or travel companions who want to spend little or no time in the saddle. Some of these options may need to be scheduled before your trip–please contact one of our Trip Consultants for more information. Expenses and/or related transportation to these activities may not be included in the trip price. See Included In The Trip Price for more information.

Some non-riding options on this trip are:

• Explore the immaculately preserved medieval town of Brugge
• Taste local beers in Brugge
• Enjoy VIP team RadioShack-Nissan-Trek access
• Enjoy VIP passes at race finish in Oudenaarde
• Visit artisan chocolate shops in Brugge
