Koppenberg Cross Week w/ Jonathan Page

The mere word Koppenberg churns up visions of cycling classics, nestled in the heartland of Belgium cycling, the Koppenberg stands tall as a cycling icon. Join us and cyclocross icon Jonathan Page for this unique opportunity to be part of our cyclo-cross trip to Belgium. During our stay in Belgium, we will go for rides around legendary areas and visit museums and monuments to cycling, while having two opportunities to take part in Belgian cyclo-cross events. The first will be the Koppenberg Cross where we will pre-ride with Jonathan Page and then have dinner with Jonathan and his family. Two days later at the Vlaamse Houtlandcross we will pre-ride again w/ Jonathan. Master riders will have the chance to race in each of these events, experiencing first-hand European cross. Everyone on hand will have the chance to hang out with Jonathan and other top crossers in the World.
