Last weekend we had 2 very nice rides, both around 110-120km with an elevation above 1,500hm. The first was on Saturday when we rode in the hills around Girona, then on Sunday we went to the Costa Brava. Want to know more?

Tuesday Night Rides to start
Starting from the Eurotower, a number of riders will start the weekly Tuesday Night Ride this week. Idea is to meet at 18:15 at Willy Brandt Platz and then ride towards Höchst-Farbwerke (so you could also take the S1 or S2 out there). There is a nice 8-9km loop out there, which is partially traffic free!
If you cannot make it at 18:15, you could go in the opposite direction when you exit the S-bahn station and ride a bit towards Hattersheim. Normally people will be riding on the loop until 19:30 approx, given the early season (and darkness, bring lights!).
More info can be obtained via Morten.
A precise plan with street names will be provided on this blog in due course.

A Flemish weekend to prepare for Cologne
Those of you who will still need some mileage before entering the undoubtedly tough Rund um Köln race on Easter Monday, could spend a nice weekend in Flanders as preparation.
On Saturday, 31 March you can do the Tom Boonen Classic, a cyclotour with start and finish in the towm of Balen - Boonen's birthplace. The longest distance is 150km, mainly flat with a few Flemish hills - meaning short but steep -, but you can also do 130km, 90km and 75km.
Check the website: Tom Boonen Classic
One day later, on Sunday 1 April, you could then head for Harelbeke, 100km further up north in Flanders, to do the cyclotour version of the E3 Prijs, the semi-classic for pros held the day before. The 130km loop offers 11 climbs, most of them known from the Tour of Flanders. The 80km has five climbs in its course.

One week later, on Easter Saturday you can of course also ride the Tour of Flanders, but two days before Cologne, that is easier said than done.
