De Brabantse Pijl Cycling Route

Bravely fighting the wind in the open field, then downhill at breakneck speed to conquer the slope on the other side of the valley right on the pedals. Davering over the cobblestones, soaking up the fresh forest scent and sprinting to the next village. When the spring 2020 classics arrive, you will ride your own classic on the roads of the Brabantse Pijl.

Grease your calves for a tour full of variety where only the truly great cycling heroes flourish. Eddy Merckx, Roger De Vlaeminck, Freddy Maertens, Eddy Planckaert, they all stood on the highest podium of the De Brabantse Pijl. Edwig Van Hooydonk even four times. They didn't have time to take a break along the way in one of the many fine catering establishments, but you do!
