Today’s highlight is a visit to Brouwerij Verhaeghe Vichte, makers of the famed Duchesse de Bourgogne or Brasserie Omer Vander Ghinste. The ride ends in Kortrijk, a city rich with 13th-century history, where we’ll relax and enjoy its charming atmosphere.

This ride is steeped in history. We stop in Ypres, the heart of Flanders Fields, to explore one of the world’s finest WWI museums. From there, we continue to the Abbey of Sint-Sixtus, where the legendary Westvleteren beers—among the best in the world—are brewed.

Day Five – Watou/Poperinge to Bruges (~45 miles)
Awakening among hop fields, we ride through windmill-dotted landscapes and quaint villages en route to Bruges. Along the way, we’ll touch on more WWI history near the coast and explore the far western reaches of Flanders before arriving in this fairy-tale city.
