Yesterday I took a little recovery coffee ride to Geraardsbergen and back. I stopped for a couple of coffees in the town square, enjoying the spring sunshine and the Sunday market. I then rode up to the Muur climb and took some shots as promised.The Muur has great significance in cycling as it has often been the deciding point in the Tour of Flanders. being only just under 30 km from the finish it provides much of the drama that makes the race so dynamic. The photos are in this flickr set http://www.flickr.com/photos/perstrom/sets/72057594135505386/.
This is the Muur itself, but it should be noted that the Muur is preceded by a very difficult section just to get to the famed cobble. Enjoy.

Mighty impressive Per. You can see how that would define a race.
How long is it? What is the average grade? The max?
Thanks.
