2025 Tour Catalogue

---

4 - 14 April 2025

  This is a tour for the cycling enthusiast. Experience the thrill as the pro peloton makes their way up Oude Kwaremont at the Tour of Flanders and be roadside at Paris-Roubaix. Join thousands of Belgian cyclists in the Tour of Flanders cyclo-sportive, 'We Ride Flanders' on your choice of the 77km, 144km or 177km courses all with a healthy mix of Belgian cobbles and bergs. Ride the final kilometres of Paris-Roubaix and experience the atmosphere as the winner of the Hell of the North enters the old Roubaix Velodrome. During the week we do some gentler ride in Flanders Fields - today peacefully rolling countryside but a century ago centre stage for the carnage of the First World War. Cycling difficulty - Moderate.

23 April - 1 May 2025

Walk the battlefields of the Somme, visit the Monash Centre, the amazing Vignacourt 1814-18 photographic collection and the Caves of Naours where soldiers on leave left their autographs on the walls of these ancient caves. The highlight of the week will be attending the official Anzac Day Service at Villers-Bretonneux. After Anzac Day we travel north and explore the Ypres Salient Anzacs fought in the muddy and bloody battles of 1917. Belgium is ideal for cycling with dedicated cycle paths and mostly flat countryside so we explore this part of the Western Front by bicycle.   

24 September - 2 October

Retrace the footsteps of the Anzacs on the Western Front during the First World War. See where they lived, played, fought and died. The tour starts in France with four days on the Somme in the beautiful village of Corbie. You will walk the battlefields of the Pozieres, and Le Hamel. Stand on the battleground at Dernancourt where an Australian brigade resisted a German attack over several days and stopped a break-through to Amiens. Then we relocate to Ypres and collect our bicycles to explore the old battlefields of Belgium. By bike we explore the 1917 battlefields of Messines, Polygon Wood and Passchendaele as well as a slightly longer journey to Fromelles and Australia's worst military disaster.
