Day Six: Ypres

A great ride from Ypres this morning. Firstly up the Kemmelberg. and then a roll around the peace trail. This is a 50km bike path that takes in many of the battlefields and cemeteries that are scattered over much of this part of Flanders.




A pleasant 10am rollout from the square in Ypres


The Kemmelberg...fortunately the only climb of the day



Cresting the Kemmelberg. Luckily Tom and Ian gave me a good head start.


Lew practicing for the podium on Sunday


Rolling through the Flandrian fields


Our tireless guides Ian and Tom leading.... again.
The winds in this part of the world are merciless.




Note to Jim: Belgium cappuccino comes with serious whipped cream
