I'm from Ghent so I know the area :)
The canal from Bruges to Ghent is easy and quick, but really not a nice route. You even have to make a little detour around a concrete factory somewhere halfway.
My advice, if you have some time: check fietsnet.be. It's in Dutch only, but basically you can compile your own route by clicking the red numbered waymarks. You can then print your route on a convenient paper strip which you can tape to your toptube. Basically anything but the canal will be supernice.
It's not the quickest way to get from A to B, but I always cycle like this in Flanders. The numbered waymarks are extremely well indicated, at every junction there is a small green signpost indicating where you should go.
The canal will be quicker, but nowhere near as nice.
Good luck and enjoy, feel free to give me a shout if you need any more advice.
