I’ve been to Flanders, l-b-l and Amstel Gold.
Best day was on the Oude Kwaremont at Flanders. It was awesome. The atmosphere was great with big screen, bars with bbq if you choose the right bit and the peleton goes through more than one. Also the women’s race goes through earlier in the day.
We have done the short and full distance sportive at Flanders and would recommend the shorter distance only. The full distance is miles of flatness. And stay in Ghent and go to Amadeus restaurant with all you can eat ribs for €25.
Timings wise to do the sportive you need to register Friday in oudenaarde. It’s a 2 hour drive from Calais which means getting back to calais after the race on Sunday is easy.
Liege was nice but not as nice as Ghent and viewing was not as good. We found a big screen at st Nicolas 5k from the finish.
Anstel was ok. But restaurants were rammed in Maastricht but we did share our hotel with 2 pro teams which was cool.
This spring we are riding Ghent-Wevelgem. Planning to ride from Dunkirk to Kortrijk on Friday then back on Sunday.
