I'm sure they do..! The bergs are rideable, but if someone topples in front of you and you put a foot down, they can be too steep to get going again, though friendly spectators will always give you a push..!

Then back to Oudenaarde for beers and telly and to look at Freddy Maertens in the Tour of Flanders museum shop.
When we had the trip to the Gent 6 Days, sitting there for the afternoon while it snowed outside watching a cross race on TV and in the presence of Mr Maertens was great fun.

If you read bike forums, they are currently the cycling Fad of the moment, and that's why they've all been bought up probably.

Gordon, Glad to hear your wheel has been sorted but now the frame. Oh dear. It's probably ok - maybe just a scratch?
Looking good for tonight, Me, Gordon, Andy, Matt, Dave, James, poss Tom, Rob. Anyone else?
What about some of those guys from the intro on Sun. Any of you fancy a run out?
See you at 7, P.

I've ridden the event twice on gatorskins (front 23mm, rear 28mm, both pumped to 80psi), I suspect most tyres are fine for the event.
Watching the race is great anywhere along the route. Two years ago we went to *downtown* Oudenaarde (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn6CFj1pyTc) to watch them go by, then drove 10 mins to the Koppenberg and saw them again. Then back to Oudenaarde for beers and telly and to look at Freddy Maertens in the Tour of Flanders museum shop. In 2007, I rode out to the Molenberg which was very jolly. Not been to the Muur to see it but it looks more like going to a football match there.

V&J Update:
Viv won yesterday's stage! Woooooh! Representing the Wheelers from the other side of the world! Well done Viv, it sounds really, really tough out there. First Wheelers' woman to race this year and doing it in style!
The latest challenge seems to be negotiating miles and miles of mud and lava rock tracks in unsesonal rain... Jerry came off and hurt his elbow which is now infected so he's not allowed to ride for a few days but hopefully he'll be back on the bike soon. They are going to be (even) tough(er) cookies when they get back, that's for sure.

Er, Anita, you do know there will be getting on for 20,000 people riding the sportive.... 
For tyres, try Highonbikes - it's an eBay shop but pretty reliable. He may have some.
