Alright - since our weekends are fully packed with dedicated trainings for our Italian getaway in two weeks, we take on some altitude at night. This will be the first shot at testing our new @albaoptics glasses w/ VZUM photochromatic lens in the transition between day and night. After watching todays’ @giroditalia we spin towards our own Flemish hill climbs good for a total of 1020 meters; as always: race uphill, relax downhill. #allaroundbelgiumandmore #rpmsouplesse
This year, the Tour of Flanders took place during the Easter weekend so, as Belgium residents, the logical choice for @rpmsouplesse and us was to stay local and go watch the race. Nonetheless, our desire to disconnect from our weekly routine and put all our commitments on hold, led us to drive five hours south to the start location of our three-day bikepacking loop in the Black Forest, Germany. Read about our adventure by following the link in bio, or save this publication and read it at a later date.

First raced in 1958, it is one of the more recently founded one-day classics, but has developed into a prestigious and desirable event. It is on the UCI World Tour calendar, as part of a series of cobbled classics in Belgium and Northern France in March and April. The weather ‘ll be good and the Flemish Ardennes are waiting; what else does an epic Sunday need? 🫡 #rpmsouplesse #allaroundbelgiumandmore

Posted @withregram • @rpmsouplesse Winter has finally hit us! Snow & rainy packed days ahead and what’s better than to use that summer gravel experience and throw it through the muddy trails? Equipped with @vredestein_cycling 38mm Aventura tyres, we cycled the periphery of the Eifel region in 3 days. More of this epic and quite heavy journey will follow - meanwhile ‘Go get that mud in!’ #rpm #souplesse #rpmsouplesse #ridefarr #bikepacking #adventure

Last year I was part of the @alpecincycling ride club crew in Ghent. I planned a lot of routes, helped people building their dream bikes and found some new friends with whom I share great memories! A very exciting year lays ahead with new paths - and, another ride club. (re-)Presenting RPM™ Souplesse, featuring road, gravel and fixed rides in 2023, focused on challenges together! - all of the above, always, with @aelbrechtanthony next to me! Prep the legs for anything between 50 and 250 km, let’s chase the sun! #internationalcyclingclub #roadtonowhere #RPMSouplesse
