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.

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.
