Today I did a reconnaissance of the big loop the first stage of the Ronde van Vlaams Brabant is going to do. This lap is some 22K long and the riders will have to do it 5 times. After that they also have to do 3 smaller laps of some 14K to complete the stage. The big lap passes before my front door and I was in particular interested in the GPM passage in the Hollestraat in Sint Joris Weert. I plan to go out there this afternoon to try and get some pictures from the riders turning in to the climb. So I stopped and looked around for some vantage points to get good shots.
Ride Stats : 22K and 180 heightmeters in 58mins
6370/58370
Got
my Nikon D2X and big 300mm F2.8 Nikkor lens out and posted myself at the bottom and later
at the top of the GPM of the first stage of the Ronde van Vlaams
Brabant. Here are some of the pics I shot. Hope you like them.
