For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Title photo taken on the highest mountain in Belgium. Looks all flat, but it is a plateau actually just shy of 700m. It is a peat bog landscape, very nice and unique. But a lot of mud. Probably looking at Germany, at least it's somewhere there in that direction.

Beautiful autumn forest vibes.

Was amazing weather today. Was cold in the morning but the sun came through real good. Were also quite some other people out, hiking and it seems like the ebikers found their way around there too now.

Probably last one for this year, days are going to be real short soon. Very happy to have done it, was real nice.

That’s great!

Next summer I have a bike tour planned in Belgium, and I can’t wait.

Sweet! I love Belgium :) I did quite a lot of short trips in that area, it's so easy to reach for me and feels a bit "exotic*, haha. Language confusion is real in that area too, because you also have the German speaking Belgians.

This trip will be with some friends who did a similar trip there in 2023.

It’s through a small company who has some tour guides to help out with language and stuff. They had a great time on their trip so I’m really excited.
