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…

enultimate stage of the tour around Luxembourg. Starting in Govy, the ‘Roder von Dasburg’ descent down from the Ardennes (absolutely fantasticride...) past Vianden Castle and continuing all along the border rivers between Luxembourg and Germany, Our and Sauer. At the Wasserbillig crossing the Moselle with the "Sankta Maria II"-ferry, a…

VTT Jodoigne, Tervuren, Brussels
A fairly leisurely cross-country ride via Jodoigne, abouve Wavre and then trough the woods near Tervuren (ticked off a few more new trails there), and via the Roode Klooster to Brussels.
A very high proportion of off-road riding, and I finally discovered some beautiful new small trails.

After setting off from Wavre, first a longer detour to the MTB Parc in Ottignies for a little bit of training. Afterwards to finish all those sections of the ‘Boucles de Lasne’ -Tour on which, on my first attempt last year, I had missed due to a navigation mistake and…

North Sea coast & border BE/FR
A ride along the Belgian coast including a two ferry crossing (unfortunately on that one in Nieuwpoort with a very long waiting time). Heavy winds. Fortunately in the direction of travel, but due to the whipped up sand on some parts not possible to ride on the promenade itself and…

Meuse Liegé -Namur & Ligne 147
A short ride from Liège along the Meuse via Huy to Namur. From there, unplanned and spontanously on to Gembloux and the Ravel route of the former railway line 147.
Given that the route is, after all, designated as part of Euroravel 3, the section between Seraing and Engis is…

VTT Mechelen & De Schorre
Planned as slightly more relaxed ride compared to Friday’s grueling effort – but unfortunately, due to the rainy weather, it turned out to be much tougher after all. Some trails in De Schorre were unrideable due to wet clay and a complete lack of grip – and after all, you…

Dijle, Rupel, Schelde
River cruise along the Dijle, Rupel and Schelde. The original plan was only to go as far as Gent, but to use all the ferries along the Schelde– always crossing from one side to the other. Unfortunately, this proved unfeasible in practice, as the ferry service there (in contrast to…

Airport Zaventem
A spontaneous trip to the airport, followed by a full circuit aorund it with a stop at the plane-spotting platform – unfortunately, I took a wrong turn somewhere near the terminal itself and then spent half an hour pushing my bike through car parks and the terminal itself, completely lost...

La Roche-aux-Faucons
A short trip with a sunburn. First to the Domaine de Wégimont for a quick visit to the PAss Chorale, who were holding their rehearsal weekend there. Then on to Méry / Esneux, arriving just in time – about five minutes before the first support vehicles – to give the…

Lignes 21, 35 & 16: Landen - Hasselt - Berchem
Route along Infrabel-Lines 21 (Landen–Hasselt), 35 (Hasselt–Aarschot) and 16 (Aarschot–Berchem). Unfortunately, a 20-minute walk through a nature reserve due to incorrect Komoot routing. Overall, relatively little of interest along the route, apart from the citadel in Diest and the town centre of Lier.
Including the return journey: total distance for…

VTT Tournai - Lille / Paris-Roubaix 😉
OK. Not quite really, but at least I’ve included the famous Carrefour de l'Arbre in my route. A magnificent spectacle to cycle there just a few hours before the pros, when the place is already packed with spectators who were cheering on absolutely everyone. Start of the day was before…

Canaux Nimy-Blaton-Péronnes, Bossuit–Kortrijk
The lower section of Ravel 141 is now also complete. The beautiful Viaduc d’Arquennes can currently bypassed, even though the surfacing on the Ravel is still missing for a few hundred metres south of the bridge. Onwards via La Louvière to Mons. From there, along the Nimy-Blaton-Péronnes Canal, then along…

VTT Eupen + Raeren
First real MTB ride of the year. A combination of the Eupen and Raeren routes. Beautiful scenery, good weather conditions and a successful test of the bike following the switch to tubeless. Unfortunately, I couldn’t really get into a proper flow, particularly on the Raeren section, because there are quite…
