Cyclo
Ride the legendary KBK course yourself
28 february 2026
The day before the elite and junior races, cycling enthusiasts get the chance to experience the Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne course firsthand during KBK Cyclo. With distances ranging from 65 to 135 kilometers, this cycling tour is accessible to both recreational cyclists and experienced amateurs. The carefully mapped routes wind through the Flemish Ardennes and Pays des Collines, tackling famous climbs and quiet roads that will become the backdrop for the professionals the following day. Along the way, you'll enjoy generous refreshment stops and a warm, sporting atmosphere. Cap off your ride in style with a festive après-bike at the Kubox in Kuurne. KBK Cyclo is the perfect kickoff to the opening weekend: challenging, welcoming, and pure cycling pleasure.
