Ride your own cycling classic along the roads of the Brabantse Pijl, the race where Eddy Merckx, Roger De Vlaeminck, Freddy Maertens, and Eddy Planckaert once claimed the top spot on the podium—Edwig Van Hooydonk even did so four times. Just like them, you’ll conquer the hills of the Zuid-Dijleland, briefly cross the language border, thunder over cobblestones, and breathe in the fresh forest air of the Meerdaalwoud before sprinting on to the next village. A ride full of variety!
Please note: until mid-September 2026, the section from Leefdaal across the plateau to Duisburg and Vossem is closed. Please follow the detour along Dorpstraat.
This route is presented by Toerisme Vlaams-Brabant vzw in collaboration with Flanders Classics and Rode Sportief.
