Oudenaarde is where we will be staying for most of the trip.  From arrival after June 21st, to the Stage race starting on July 4th, Oudenaarde will be our home.  This town is not nearly the size of a major tourist trap but still big enough to have a big culture and a downtown area.  Oudenaarde is nestled in the center of the Flanders region of Belgium.  This means there is a lot of cycling history and the Ronde Van Vlaanderen has a big presence in the town.  There is even a Ronde Van Vlaanderen museum that is quite nice!

OUDENAARDE, YOUR NEW HOME!
