Cycling day trip from Bruges to Oudenaarde

Hey there, cyclist extraordinaire! Ready for an awesome ride? Begin your journey in the fairy-tale city of Bruges, known for its intricate canals and medieval charm. As you pedal away from the picturesque cobblestones of Bruges, you'll embark on a peaceful 78-kilometer expedition to Oudenaarde.

The route is mostly on quiet roads and cycleways, so you can enjoy the journey without much traffic. It's a smooth ride with 76% of the surface being asphalt, so not too much bumpiness to throw you off your groove.

As you make your way, you'll only climb 102 meters, but there's a bit more descent which means you'll relish some effortless gliding—yes, please! The path takes you through some beautiful Flemish countryside, with windmills and quaint villages dotted along the way.

Your destination, Oudenaarde, is a gem located in the heart of the Flemish Ardennes. Known for its stunning town hall and cycling heritage (it's a stop on the famed Tour of Flanders), you'll have plenty to explore post-ride.

Make sure to take in the scenery and maybe even stop for a classic Belgian beer or two along the way—cheers to a delightful ride!
