I use RWGPS quite extensively, in the plan route tab, you can choose the background map.

If you pick the "OSM Cycle" map it has all the cycling routes (quite a thick network in Belgium)

Here you are, @KarlMarx This is the "LF6" ("landelijke fietsroute" or "National Cycleroute" in English). The LF6 is nice but not always suitable for racebikes. And expect to do about 2000 vertical meter when going from Dunkirk to Leuven staying south of Brussels. If you don't want to clilmb, you can get from Kortrijk to Leuven without gaining a single vertical meter.

If you need more information, let me know. I've been cycling about 175.000 km in the area you're about to visit, so I believe I know it rather well. ;)

You're welcome. Don't hesitate to ask. Depending on when you're coming over to Flanders, I always can guide you if you would like me to. I live near Ghent and my GF lives in Leuven and I often go to her place by bike (taking the route south of Brussels).

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
