I have visited the Ypres - Flanders area several times, and always enjoyed the rides. It's very easy to spend 2 or 3 days just poking around, riding very small secondary or tertiary roads in the area - there is something of historical interest around every corner.
The whole West Flanders area is within easy reach of Ypres, and it is also a very short hike into northern France, where there is also a great deal to see and do, and many more sites relating to the Great War.
After about 3 days, though, it can get a little depressing, just because of the scale of the conflict and the realization of how many lives were lost.
But, to anyone considering riding in this area- go for it. There is so much to see and do, great variety in the riding, great variety in the food and culture.
