The queen stage and a kilometer record for the third day in a row. Good food in Zierikzee. This time it was someone else who had 2 flat tires. Many roads straight ahead.

A special day. 3 flat tires only to discover that the rim tape was worn out. Returned to Ossendrecht, our starting village. Went to the bike shop there. And I could immediately get back on the road. Rode against the group's direction towards Baarle-Hertog. The group had just finished their lunch there

We were supposed to pick up @Barbara & Andreas 🕊️ in Brussels-Zuid today and drive to Aalst with them.
Their train in Frankfurt was cancelled, however. We returned home with two.
Barbara & Andreas arrived in Aalst almost 4 hours later. The fellowship followed nonetheless in Aalst on the Grote Markt with

A bike ride from Charleville-Mézières to Givet. By car to Givet gare SNCF and from Givet by TER train to Charleville-Mézières to cycle along the Meuse to Givet together with komoot colleague Willen VS. Pleasant ride with the necessary coffee stops and lunch in Fumay. There is so much to see and experience

A nice, recreational bike tour along the Meuse between Charleville-Mézières with @Géry VdB. By car to Givet. From there, the train to Charleville. A moment of panic, because according to the ticket machine, our bikes were not welcome on the train. Fortunately, the ticket office was open and we could

On Sunday, we are going to pick up an Austrian komoot cycling friend in Brussel-Zuid and accompany them from Brussels to Aalst. So it was necessary to go and explore it. 35 years ago, Brussel-Zuid was on my way to work. Now I wouldn't recognize myself there anymore.

Gravelrit: Blakmeers - Lebbeke
Picked up a loop on www.gravelmap.com
However, not overwhelming and not worth repeating.

A quiet gravel ride during the recovery week. Picked up the route on gravelmap.com. But this turned out not to be the reference. The tour did not appeal to me. Unpaved is not the same as gravel, after all.
A top location was the tapijt. For €2.5 you can get your ice cream here. Nice resting spot.

Trained hard indoors yesterday, ideal for a small test tour today with the new (second-hand) gravel bike.
It was certainly a real gravel ride full of gravel roads.
The position still needs some tweaking and I will have to order a longer stem.
Now just waiting for a few spare tires and then hopefully a trip

Kordel an der Kyll: Via het Römerpad langs de ruine Ramstein, de Klausen- en Genovevagrot en de hangbruggen in het Butzerbachtal.*****
Beautiful walk borrowed from topkomoter @Bernd along the Ramstein castle ruin, the Klausen and Genoveva caves, and the charming Butzerbach Valley with its waterfalls and suspension bridges.

Marina got a year older again. Last year we went climbing in the footsteps of top komoter @Bernd 🌲🦌🍄🥾 on some Klettersteigs along the Moselle, this year we went to the surroundings of Trier, for a beautiful hike that we again borrowed from @Bernd 🌲🦌🍄🥾. And again we did not regret it. Thanks

Sunday club ride. It wasn't too fast, but the course was tough. Getting to know the Bruine Put from the Brabantse Pijl. A climb where you can really go all out. 😉
Some overlap with my Tuesday ride.

Noordrand Brussel + rondje Brussels Airport

Nice, smooth ride along the northern edge of Brussels + an interesting loop around Brussels Airport. Admittedly, a full 3 hours in the rain. With the sand still lying on the small roads from the last thunderstorm, bike and rider got as dirty as in winter.

Another unexpected, fun ride with many photogenic spots. But the persistent rain kept the camera in the back pocket. Another loop to come back again.
Also interesting is the Salangaan bridge, where cyclists have to use the lift (the stairs are really steep). On the Salangaan bridge you have a nice view

Wielrenrit; Mooi Strava-rondje naar Halle!
Mooie toer op een omloop voorgesteld door Strava.
Maar ... dit keer was ik de camera vergeten 🙈🙈🙈.
Komoten op de racefiets... heb duidelijk nog last met de omschakeling.

Nice tour on a loop suggested by Strava.
But... this time I forgot the camera 🙈🙈🙈.
Targeted endurance training with the brakes on. 😉
Komoten on the road bike... clearly having trouble with the switch.

What do you think? "The Dodentocht is 100km, we'll do 100 a few times that weekend?" Admittedly by bike, but after 4 days that will probably have been enough too 🙃
