Liège-Bastogne-Liège Challenge 27/Apr/2019 was created by Luke GJ Potter
Hi all,
There's about six or seven of us confirmed for the Liège–Bastogne–Liège Challenge weekend in April of 2019. You're very welcome to come along.
I'm not sure yet, but I think I can ride the 275km, w/4500m, 11 hours route. It's gonna be a great base for the France Trip (Etape, mini-Raid, TDF) in July 2019 .

I've not been to Belgium before, so I'm following the wisdom of grizzled veterans, Eugene and Shane.
Flights: Aer Lingus DUB -> BRU. My flights are:
You'll need to ring up 1890 800600, quote your booking number to book your bike. They have a limit of 10 bikes per flight.
Some of our Sortie are going out on Thursday evening and returning on the later flight on Sunday.
Transfers: We'll get a 10-trip train ticket.

RUE JEAN BAPTISTE JUPPIN 17/18, 4000 Liege, Belgium
€270 to €340, cheaper if you prepay.

It's for the Pro Race, but the sportive has an extra few KMs to account for the signon and finish.

Hi Luke,
I did it earlier this year. Didn’t file a report though, sorry. It’s quite a task for a sportive early in the season, with the elements likely to play a part. We had a lovely sunny, calm day in contrast to the last couple of years, so that was in our favour. The climbs were short but severe for sure, and the kept the best/worst ‘til last! But it’s really well organised and one to remember. Happy to have a chat or answer any questions on it if you wish.
Regards
Alan
