On Sunday, the next kermesse is the Omloop van de Vlaamse Ardennen in Ichtegem, propably with Johan Musseeuw ("If the weather isn't that bad"). Ichtegem is in West Flanders roughly between Brugge and Roeselare (or Oostende and Roeselare on Route 33. My own (bill speaking) knowledge of the course is that it is dead flat with a small rise through the village - but the main problem is always the wind at this time of year.
