The organisers of the We Ride Flanders cyclosportive have announced that registrations are officially closed.
The event which takes place on Saturday 1 April will see cyclists from 56 different countries take to roads of Flanders to cover various different routes the day before the professionals race the Tour of Flanders.
This year entrants had four different options to choose from with the 141-kilometre and 74-kilometre routes departing from Oudenaarde and the 200-kilometre and 237-kilometre options departing from Antwerp.
All four routes will provide riders with the experience of riding the steep climbs and cobbled sections which the race is renowned for with riders covering climbs such as the Koppenberg, Molenberg, Taaienberg, Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg. Riders taking on the full challenge will also tackle the Muur van Geraardsbergen which makes its return to the Tour of Flanders route this year.
And my heart goes out to each and every one of them
