Extra benefits:
- You can use the bike repair service if you have a breakdown along the course.
- Bike marking service: If your bike ever gets stolen, it will be easier to link it back to you.
- Those coming by bike, will receive a nice souvenir from us as a reward.
Location: Parking behind the town hall, August Nihoulstraat, Scherpenheuvel.
The bike parking is guarded on:
- 13 June between 4:30pm and 10:30pm
- 14 June between 10am and 7pm
There are limited car parking spaces in Scherpenheuvel as the car parks in the centre will NOT be accessible. The free peripheral car parks will be accessible, some via diversions.

You can only drive again after the green flag has passed through. Follow the instructions of the Police or signallers.

The history of the miners has nowhere else been conserved as good as in the city of Beringen. The be-MINE site is situated next to the track of the Baloise Belgium Tour. So combine a day of cyling fun with the ultimate experience of watersports, nature and adventure. Even if you’re more in for culture, shopping or gastronomy, Beringen is the place to be!
