VTT Eindhoven-Best & Sint Oedenrode
For the first time since my herniated disc, I finally back on the MTB, although I consciously limited myself to a few easy trails for my return. Downhill, rooty sections, jumps, etc., are unfortunately still off-limits.
Despite the weather conditions and the storm in the days prior, the flow trails…

Kanaal Bocholt-Herentals & Nettekanaal
After a two-month forced break due to a herniated disc and only gradually building up with some very short testrides in past few weeks, I finally went on a longer, “real” ride again. Given the need for caution and my lack of fitness, it was significantly slower than usual, but…

VTT Tomorrowland
Set off from Sinaai, passing some flowtrails and pumptracks along the route in Waasmunster (in perfect condition and a wonderful playground - kudos and thanks to the guys and girls who maintain that!!), Hamme, and near Bornem (unfortunately quite overgrown; it seems its no longer being serviced). Unplanned re-routing and…

Lier - Aarschot - Leuven - Brussels
Quick ride to fill in a few gaps in the network, particularly in the Leuven and Aarschot areas and some "map paintings" in Brussels. Unfortunately, most of the planned route along the Demel was closed off for the Aarschot Triathlon on that day.

VTT Tilburg, Chaamse Boosen, Kempen & Bel Lintje
Using the “Bel Lintje” as an access route to three wonderfull MTB trails. Kilometers-long slalom trails through the woods—especially the ones up near Tilburg, where they’re in an absolut perfect condition. It feels endless and just beautiful. Not technically demanding, but with a continuous flow—making it perfect for this kind…

Tour to fill in some gaps on the map. Between Binges and Charleroi, the last part of the “local” Ravel L147 (Section Sombreffe–Gembloux) and from Gembloux to Ottignies/LLN. This time, a somewhat more in-depth visit to Charleroi, focusing in particular on a few metro stations.

VTT Schleife Lontzen, Vaalserberg & Aachen
Based on the East Belgian official MTB tour “Lontzen in einer Schleife,” extended via the Vaalserberg to Aachen and then back along the original tracks. Unfortunately, several trails along the marked route have been so washed out by rainwater that riding is no longer possible—the ruts are too deep but…

Abdij van Herkenrode
A short evening tour to the old Herkenrode Abbey. Construction of the ‘Clausura’ installation – a replica of the main church that burned down 200 years ago – is now complete, though all the surrounding features are still missing.

VTT The Ramp of Dessel - White Mountain Trail
A combination of the Campinaroutes Dessel Red and Green and the ‘White Mountain Trail’ from Mol. (Whatever the name is based on, I didn’t see any mountains – let alone white ones...). There’s a very high proportion of woodland and, above all, a great many superbly laid-out and well-maintained trails…

Port of Antwerp & Schelde-Rijnkanaal
A tour trough the Port of Antwerp, along the Scheldt-Rhine Canal via Bergen op Zoom to the canal’s final bridge, and back again on the other side. I’d actually planned just a short ride around the harbour to relax from last weekend tours, but I just couldn’t resist to do…

Day 2: Luxembourg Southern Borders
Unfortunately, only managed to achieve the minimum goal: butthe circuit around Luxembourg is completed now (four laps in total). Acutal plan was to to go on from Esch via Pettingen to Arlon, but the sweltering heat made it impossible to continue on what was largely an open, unprotected stretch of…
