And one more attraction is on the program on the last ride of the trip: the Abbey of Val Dieu. Located in a busier and paved area, the abbey welcomes us with the beautiful Basilica, the monastery, the brewery and a restaurant for a delicious lunch. We walk through the park full of special trees and I

After using up yesterday's reserves, we fill up nicely here at the hotel. We eat like professional cyclists before we get going and laugh at our gluttony when we start eating crêpes and waffles again. We cycle towards Reinhardstein Castle, where a medieval market with traditional costumes and musicians

Day three is the toughest ride: 90 kilometers and 1400 meters of elevation through three countries. We leave rainy Germany, briefly touch Luxembourg and cycle into Belgium, where Wallonia welcomes us with rays of sunshine.

On day two, we wake up to glorious weather in the Eifel National Park, where the landscape is more reminiscent of the Canadian wilderness than Germany. We enjoy the serene lakes and deserted paths until we cycle into Monschau, a town full of winding cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses and a bustling

We start our adventure in Kornelimünster, where we prepare our bikes next to the old church and sort out the last items. The Vennbahn cycle path is nearby, and as soon as we enter the path, we feel the lively atmosphere: people are picnicking, enjoying themselves on terraces, and bicycles are parked

In a competition, the apotheosis is in the final, the last part. With our MTBeachpack, the positive peaks were mainly in between. With people on the road, with pieces of nature, at a surf session and at the MTB Trails. The finish was actually a deception. The worst bickering of the week (yes we had that

Actually, the plan was to take a cart with 2 (wave) surfboards behind the bikes on this #beachpack. Something that, thank god, because we did not have a coupling from the cart to the bicycle, did not work. Plan B was 10x better. Each one filled with winter wetsuit gear and borrow or rent boards along

Beachpacking day 3: dune day. Smuggling used to often go through dune paths, now there is a beautiful cycle path and because it was high tide at departure we were forced to change the planned route over the beach 100 meters. So smuggling. Fortunately, I still managed to grab a small piece of sand until

With the head in the wind, sand in the engine and foam on the jaws. Yesterday we cycled from @brouwersdam at 50 km per hour the first kilometers over the dam and then fell back to a moderate 20 on the beach of Ouddorp to evil corner. Constantly searching for that hard layer was a challenge. In Oostvoorne

#beachpacking from Vlissingen to Den Helder day 1. With the train from Amsterdam to Vlissingen and got on the bike there. In 5 days I cycle along the coast with @erikkleijn. Along the way we tackle as many mtb trails as possible and the goal is to get home with as little rust as possible. We brought
