Discover The Course
Depending on your ambition, you can choose from four stunning routes starting at the castle of Schepdaal. Each one revealing a part of Remco’s training world.
The 60 km loop takes you along Remco’s very first training roads. You’ll explore the rolling hills of the Pajottenland on a peaceful morning ride full of charm. Along the way, you’ll encounter a varied route with three gentle climbs. Perfect for soaking up both the region and the cycling spirit in a relaxed atmosphere.
Looking for a bit more climbing? Then the 85 km route is your best bet. Get ready for a classic trio: the legendary Muur van Geraardsbergen, Bosberg, and Congoberg. Iconic climbs from the Flemish spring classics. On top of that, four additional punchy climbs will put your legs to the test. A spicy ride packed with cycling heritage.
The challenging 130 km route features no less than twelve climbs, roughly one every 10 km! You’ll ride through the scenic Pays des Collines, a region where Remco has logged countless training kilometers. Passing through Flobecq and Ellezelles, you’ll hit familiar territory for seasoned cyclists, with narrow country lanes and steep ramps climbing above 10%. Expect an intense but breathtakingly beautiful route.
And finally, the ultimate challenge: 170 km of pure Remco-style suffering. This is Remco’s go-to route when he trains in Belgium. From Schepdaal to the edge of France, you’ll tackle serious “walls” with gradients reaching up to 15% on climbs like the Bourliquet and Mont de l’Enclus. The southern side of the Hotond, also known as the Schapenberg, peaks at a brutal 18%. A ride for seasoned cyclists eager to test themselves against the champion, on his home turf.

Recycling Campaign
In Belgium, three million mobile phones lie forgotten in a drawer, and yet 90% of the materials in mobile phones can be recycled (copper, cobalt, silver, gold, etc.). In 2024, Proximus wants to collect no fewer than 140,000 devices and recycle them thanks to the collaboration with Brainscape. Together we prevent new extraction of raw materials in developing countries.
A kind call to all cycling fans to put their greenest foot forward and participate in the recycling campaign! All Proximus Cycling Challenges listed in the calendar and 6 tours of the Teamleader Crm Classics Tour are participating in the campaign. Everyone who recycles will be rewarded. How?
