March 1, 2026,OVELO 02- Du Barrage de la Vesdre vers le Ravel Vennbahn

A pleasant warm-up ride on this beautiful, almost spring-like day.

The sun is shining brightly, but it's cool and the wind is occasionally biting.

We'll choose Ovelo loop no. 2.

As a reminder, the ten Ovelo loops use the numbered junctions.

They are available on the Ostbelgien.be website.
