The Head to of Flanders is Belgium's most brutal day in the saddle. The bike-crazed Flemish don't just send riders over cobblestone roads. Nor are they content to break the racers' thighs with nearly 20 steep hillsides. No, the most severe of all cycling worlds meet in Flanders with narrow, vertical roads paved with slippery, dangerous cobbles. The hillsides are so steep they can be called "muurs", or surfaces, and they come one after another, for hours, until the riders are shattered with exhaustion. The Head to of Flanders is so fiendishly difficult that the person who wins it earns everlasting popularity. Les Woodland instructs the inside storyline of how the Flandrians became the world's most formidable racers, and of the dream of one writer to make a signature race, one that would showcase the Flemish virtues of toughness, strength and determination. That goal became the Head to of Flanders, one of cycling's monuments. Come sign up for Les for a remarkable trip in the cobbled hillsides of Flanders.
