hello
meant to post this last week as thats when it happened but forgot so here it is.
just come back from a cracking cycling weekend in belgium. the ultimate destination for hassle free riding mecca!
here is how to do it if you fancy doing something amazing
car to ramsgate to catch the ferry to oostende. (no foot passengers allowed)
61 quid 5 hour journey. cabin available for 20 quid (highly recommended) and nowhere near as bad as you would think
if you catch the 6:30pm ferry you must come back on the 8:30pm ferry on the sunday to take advantage of the cheap price
cheap hotel in oostende friday night as you dont arrive till gone midnight belgium time
heres the route we did: http://g.co/maps/2969v
amazing canalside roads flat as a pancake, no cars, hardly any people just an absolute pleasure.
any cars at junctions no matter how fast they are going will always stop for passing cyclists.
its actually quite surreal compared to spiteful taxi drivers etc in london.
a sample of the riding surface.
anyway for a cheap weeekend ride and 200 miles under your belt this will take some beating
