You prove that women don’t just ride bikes — you power over cobblestones, defy the wind, and take on every challenge on or off the bike with full conviction. And the cocktails afterwards? They will always taste good to us.
On Saturday 22/08/2026, we’ll write the next chapter together with Flandrienne presented by Lidl. Experiencing the race together — that really counts!
Flandrienne Social Ride
For who?
For those who are stronger together than alone. For women, by women.
Whether you’re riding your first kilometres or have been devouring the Flemish roads for years — Flandrienne is for you.
Flandrienne welcomes every woman regardless of level or experience. Both the racing enthusiast and e-bike or regular cyclists can take part. 😊
What?
Flandrienne is not just another bike ride.
You choose your distance. You ride at your own pace or join a guided group ride. But you experience it together.
Expect atmosphere, connection and fun with more than 1000 women! 💙
Where?
Bar Gazon in Ghent will once again be our beating heart.
On the edge of the water, surrounded by greenery, away from the crowds.
From Ghent, we head out onto the Flemish roads towards rolling landscapes and open plains.
And afterwards? Back to Bar Gazon. Shoes off. Sun on your face and cocktail in hand 😉
Lidl, presenting partner of Flandrienne
Amazing things happen when women ride together.
Discover the route
Yes, the scenery is worth it too.
With guidance, with your friends or heading out solo: from Ghent, you ride towards the Flemish Ardennes. Maybe you’ll discover them for the first time. Maybe you’ll return.
Along the way, you’ll encounter gems such as the Braambrugstraat, the Kanarieberg and the Hotond. Names that stick. Roads you feel.
50 km: Ride & Shine
With flair. With power. With excitement. For women who want to enjoy and shine at their own pace. This ride takes you along charming, gently rolling country roads towards the gateway of the Flemish Ardennes. Accessible, atmospheric and perfect to experience together.
80 km: Rule the Road
Tough enough to make you sweat. Stylish enough to shine. The perfect mid-distance for those who want just that little bit more. Expect lesser-known leg burners that wake up your legs, followed by a smooth cruise to the finish.
120 km: Femme Fatale
Long. Tough. But unforgettable. . For the perseverers. For those who want to go deep. For the Lotte Kopeckys among us. This ride goes further, climbs higher and dips into the rolling landscape of the Pays des Collines, just across the language border. Challenging climbs, wide views and that wonderful feeling when you realize: I got this!

Proximus women ride (guided)
Together, stronger than alone.
During Flandrienne, you can choose the guided Proximus Women Ride, in collaboration with The Female Cycling Tribe of our ambassador Elke Bleyaert.
We provide several groups at fixed speeds. That way, you ride at a pace that suits you — with women who share the same ambition.
When you register, you not only choose your distance, but also the speed of your group ride.
We gather at the start arch. From there, the groups depart at different times, which will be announced later.
You focus on pedaling. We take care of the rest. 🚴♀️💛
Après bike
Flandrienne is more than just clocking kilometres.
After your finish, no empty parking lot awaits you, but summer. Atmosphere. Women reliving the moment. At Bar Gazon, we wash the dust off our legs with a summery après-bike. The photos from last year speak for themselves.
Wander past workshops and partner stands that cater to what matters to us as women cyclists. Discover. Connect. Have fun.
Our goal?
To inspire. To connect. To empower.
On and off the bike!

Cycling is about being on the road together, encouraging and helping each other, laughing a lot — even when it gets tough — and enjoying the small moments in between. That’s where, for me, the true strength of a Flandrienne lies!
Photo service
Sportograf.com is our official photo partner and will take photos of all Flandriennes. You can order them one day after your participation via the button below.
Here you will find more information on how your photos are handled.
Preparation
We recommend that everyone avoids heavy exertion for which they are not physically well prepared. Make sensible choices regarding the distance you want to cover and/or the intensity you want to impose on your body. If you wish to exercise in a performance-oriented and high-intensity way, it is best to have an annual check-up with a (sports) doctor.
If you feel ill or unwell, it is always advisable to stay at home to avoid putting your own health and that of your fellow cycling enthusiasts at risk. Think of others — that’s the message.
Respect the traffic rules and ride responsibly
The organization and the police will ensure that traffic regulations are respected. Violations will be sanctioned. To avoid jeopardizing the future of the event, we strongly ask you to comply with the traffic rules, not to leave any waste behind, and not to urinate in public. We count on the sportsmanship of all participants.
