Stage 1: Haspengouw

Description

Stage 1 of 6: In the courtyard of Herkenrode Abbey site, we kick off our Tour of Limburg. We make our way through Hasselt before cycling into fruity Haspengouw. Our legs are still fresh, so the Haspengouw hills are still easily digested. At the syrup factory in Borgloon we stock up on syrup waffles for the rest of the trip. After all, the next few miles along the old Roman road are pretty tough, but are dotted with artful rewards like Helsheaven and Reading between the Lines. We greet Ambiorix at the Tongeren market, cross villages and open arable land in Riemst until we wind down the Slingerberg to the finish line at junction 402, the bridge over the Albert Canal in Kanne.
