Since a few years known from the cycling classic Gent-Wevelgem (now: In Flanders Fields). Actually they are not gravel paths, but roads paved with concrete but whose road surface has been worn down by the many agricultural traffic, resulting in cracks and gravel. So be careful, but with slightly wider tires (28-30mm) you can do just fine. Beautiful surroundings with a view of the Kemmelberg on your right.... read more

Sinds een paar jaar bekend van de wielerklassieker Gent-Wevelgem (nu: In Flanders Fields). Eigenlijk zijn het geen gravelpaden, maar wegen die met beton zijn verhard maar waarvan het wegdek inmiddels flink is afgesleten door het vele landbouwverkeer, met scheuren en grind als gevolg. Goed oppassen dus, maar met iets bredere wielrenbanden (28-30mm) prima te doen. Prachtige omgeving met aan je rechterhand uitzicht op de Kemmelberg.

One of the plugstreets included in Gent-Wevelgem. The gravel is usually in good shape, sometimes better than the concrete lanes you encounter. But the gravel combined with the fact that it does run up noticeably does make it tricky. There is also an intersection in the second half that creates an extra difficulty. Beautiful scenery and still something to have done at some point.

Een van de plugstreets die in Gent-Wevelgem worden opgenomen. De gravel ligt er doorgaans goed bij, soms beter dan de betonbanen die je tegenkomt. Maar de gravel gecombineerd met het feit dat het toch merkbaar op loopt maakt het wel lastig. Er zit ook nog een kruispunt in de tweede helft die een extra lastigheid creëert. Mooie omgeving en toch iets om ooit eens gedaan te hebben.
