Eddy’s Loop - group ride report
On 29 September, we organised a social ride together with Le Coffee Ride. The occasion was the inauguration of Eddy's Loop, a 94 km route with 1600 altimeters in the heart of the Ardennes.
The route passes some tough Ardennes hills. Such as Bierleux-Bas (1.5 km at 7.9%), the Chemin des Moutons (1.1 km at 9.9%), La Vecquée (6.4 km at 5%) and the Stockeu (2.3 km at 9.9%). Halfway up the Stockeu is a monument to Eddy Merckx. it was unveiled in 1993, the day before Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
Some 40 participants tested out the route. Find your photo report below.
