description Belgian Waffle Ride Overview
Belgian Waffle Ride is a mixed-terrain cycling event created in California by Michael Marckx in 2011. Inspired by Belgian spring classics, the original format combines paved roads with gravel and other off-road sections rather than following a conventional road-race surface. Riders must manage changing terrain within a one-day course, so the event tests endurance, bike handling, and road speed together. The name refers to its Belgian influence, while the event itself began in the United States.
