    The P-R map and detailed course route is up at

    but the jpg map is pretty low resolution. I'd like to find a course map
    with sufficient resolution to see the course in enough detail to work up a
    viewing plan. Any pointers to either the map or a live viewing strategy?

    Thanks...giorgitd

    Get the Michelin book of 1cm to 2km maps

    What's Google Earth like in that area? Never mind, I checked. Its not
    as good as it is in many parts of the U.S. Probably worth looking at
    as better than a guess. Roads and terrain only worked best.

    Are you on bikes or in cars?

    Your vantage points may differ

    But get the best - largest scale - Michelin - you can plus the
    latest route as per Het Volk/Het Nieuwsblad and do some recces and
    timing tests to determine your overall viewing plan

    You may be able to intersect the race at several points

    Make sure to take in a major climb and if your schedule goes awry,
    head for a bar that has a Tele

    You'll need a lot of good hunting to find a mjor climb on PR..
    I usually go to the Foret d'Arenberg (sp?) and then to Cysoing where
    there are a couple of good crowded bars with TVs..
    Enjoy!

    OOOPS - I got mixed up there and thought we were still at Flenders

    But with the exception of the hill , the advise remains the same
