Subscription for the 2nd Historic Tour de Flanders is started. No doubt the LÉroica is great, but if you want to ride on the most historic roads that can be found (Koppenberg !), be sure to come to Belgium. Last year there were about 80 contenders all with bikes older than 25 years, one of them a Merckx look-a-like (see film on the following site) Www.retroronde.be is written in Dutch but if anyone needs help, you can contact me off list. It is said that members off the old Flandria Team with captain Freddy Maertens will attend... best regards,
