The third day is a 40 km long ride in the fields of Flanders.

• Essex Farm Cemetery is our first stop and we find the aid post where a memorial is dedicated to John McCrae, a Canadian doctor who wrote the poem “In Flanders Fields” in May 1915.
• The Langemark German Military Cemetery with 44,061 burials makes a sharp contrast with the bright Commonwealth cemeteries.
• The statue of the Brooding Soldier at Vancouver Corner is a stunning landmark on our way to Tyne Cot Cemetery, the largest Commonwealth Military Cemetery in the World.
• From Crest Farm we ride to Tyne Cot, Passendale and push on to Polygon Wood before we visit Sanctuary Wood and Hill 62.
