Fortunately, the weather was dry and pleasant in the Ardennes: chouffeclassic.be. Didn't do the long route, but including the journey there and back it was 140 km and 2400 metres of elevation.

A brilliant cyclo race in the Belgian Ardennes. The beautiful villiage of Houffalize hosts the start and finish line and shows off with some of the most beautiful landscapes in Belgium.

Through valleys with beautiful rivers and bever ponds, up steep legbraking hills and with views over the whole Ardennes region.
