Cheers for this. We've decided to stay in Oudenaarde now, mainly cos there will be shitloads of bars and if the weather's terrible it won't be much of an issue.
Pretty cool you can book this with only a week's notice.
Thursday we've got Dover's Travelodge, Friday we'll get a super early ferry to Dunkirk and ride to Oudenaarde, Saturday and Sunday are race days and then Monday cycle back to Dunkirk via Roubaix. Brilliant.
You sparked my interest so I've found the route;

Looks like you couldn't have picked a better spot to stay as most of the route is between Oudenaarde and Geraardsbergen. I forgot they changed the finish last year, it now goes up the Muur as the penultimate climb, using the same finishing roads as the Ronde did for years - the Muur, the Bosberg then the run into Ninove.
