TogetherStrong201902L

This is the long version of the route for the second day of the 3-day event "Together Strong", organized by the IKG (Integrated Cancer Center Ghent) of AZ Maria Middelares in favor of the "Back on Track" fund.

Every day, participants ride approximately 100 km. The sponsorship money they raise goes to the Back on Track fund, which supports cancer patients at AZ Maria Middelares.

On the first day, participants ride from AZ Maria Middelares to Lier. On the second day, there is a circular route starting from Lier, and on the third day, participants return from Lier to AZ Maria Middelares.

This event is organized for the third consecutive year. In 2018, accommodation was in Mesen, and in 2017 it was in Oostduinkerke.

The route is available as GPS via www.routeyou.com, but it can also be followed through the bike junctions. The junctions are included in the documentation of this route on Routeyou.

This route follows the same course as the basic route but begins with an additional loop of about 25 km. From Lier, this loop follows the railway line to Lint. Through Hove Park, the route follows the bike highway F1 towards Mechelen, which is left just after the railway bridge over the Nete, which continues to be followed until Lier. After that, this long version follows the original route.
