Gent / Ghent 6-Day (Zesdaagse Vlaanderen-Gent)

1. Mike the Bike from Willesden CC cycled there. Then slept through most of the racing :)
   

Mmmm, perhaps my mates have a point then... :/

right then. there are 4 of us going (the other 3 are non-forumengers).

we have discovered there is a brewery tour as mentioned here http://www.beer-pages.com/protz/features/beer-ghent.htm where they make Gruut beer and give you delicious 'dry sausage' to snack on etc.

problem is you need 8 people for them to organise a tour so wanted to know if any forumengers are going to be over there and want to get involved?

Love to, depends when you're there.

Ahh I so wish I was going this year. Last year was just great

Mike, you will have something else to keep you very occupied. It may be a few years before you get out to Ghent again.

Wish I could go this year but will not know until too close to the evenrt to contemplate it.

Possibly. I'm going there with two mates, we all like decent beer... I'll ask 'em.

btw we are there 25th-28th november (for the 6days....) and have ticket for the friday and saturday night.

more the merrier etc!

So, I finally got around to asking my mates about the brewery tour! If you wanna do it earlyish on Saturday 26th then we could get involved. We're only there for one full day (Friday) and that's for watching the racing...

awesome. pm'ed

Hey, me and a mate will be there as well. Might be interested in the tour (if u need more people or can fit us in on top). Let me know.

I think we met on the Cambridge ride, but we didn't really chat much except about black Swrve jeans. See you in Ghent I guess?

Phil Gil is riding an exhibition pursuit on the Saturday, I expect the crowd will be going mental.

Indeed! Although I'll might not recognise you without black swrve jeans and your bike, say hi - i'll try and do the same. we are sitting in block A for most of the event drinking hoegaarden rose beer and getting the occassional bit of food ;)

If any forumengers are there and spot these t-shirts say hello [the drunken aussie one will be hippy…]

He's a Walloon. He might get polite applause.

If it's late enough and everyone's pissed enough they'll cheer anything.
