Castles and crossing the Ardennes
This is a top pick!
... and a trailer in tow, it was actually impossible to stop. Luckily, there was no sharp switchback to necessitate a dramatic decrease in my speed, but it was still unnerving. The sharpest climb was 18%, but I managed that without ever getting off the bike. The day ended up being long, with me getting in after dark at 8 o’clock.

The endless road
My last destination in Belgium was a place called Bastogne and was interested to see the place with its history during World War 2. I left my camp at a brisk 630 am to cover the 120 kms to town.

Gesterkt door wat koffie en witte broodjes – en zo waar ook een spontaan aangeboden pannekoek – gaan we verder zuidwaarts. Het gaat best vlot, ik merk dat ik wat conditie opdoe gedurende de tocht.
Onderweg komen we langs de abdij van Orval. De zon schijnt. We fietsen dwars door Montmédy, met de karakteristieke citadel op de heuvel. We knallen door, het is een fietsvakantie. We komen door Louppy, een dorp van niks met een imposant kasteel uit de 17e eeuw. ...
