Cycling tour in Luxemburg,Belgium,Netherlands,climbing challenge B.I.G. mountains in the footsteps of classic cycle races Tour of Flanders,Amstel Race,La Flèche Wallonne, Liège–Bastogne–Liège

Cycling tour in Luxemburg,Belgium,Netherlands,climbing challenge B.I.G. mountains in the footsteps of classic cycle races: Tour of Flanders,Amstel Race,La Flèche Wallonne, Liège–Bastogne–Liège from ~15. May, 2016 on...

During the cycling tour we can visit some battle sites,too.

In about 15-23 days, we can climb as many as possible from the 49 targets/ mountains.
But if we have 8-10 days, then we cycle less. It depends on the weather, mood and conditions.
Round-trip by car from Budapest~ 3000 km ~75 000 HUF. The motorway fees I pay myself. We share the other costs among us.
I'm looking forward to your proposals to this plan.
