Next month the Retro Ronde van Vlaanderen will be held
I will be going ...again. Awesome event. Can recommend it to everybody. Looking forward to see you large the turn up will be this year. Steadily growing each year, but certainly no way as crowded as l'eroica.
Last year I wasn't well prepared. I brought a bike with 45x19 (21 couldn't be used) lowest gearing with me and that wasn't a success on the cobbles of the Koppenberg and the Paterberg :roll: Even though I wasn't really fast, I was very tired. This year all will be different. One of the bikes I will bring with me:
With aero levers. Several years ago I wouldn't have brought it with me, but Shimano AX aerodynamic parts can be considered appropriate nowadays I would think.
