For the first ride After the COVID Lock down, we started in Ghent after a tourist ride trough the beautiful City, along the old sweet canal, looking for the Lembeek forests, a perfect training area where you can play freely in the sand. We returned past an icecream farm and 3 leie.

When arrived at pedaleur we recorded our first eppisode of the podcast (found in most podcast apps or through this link)

March 1 the Gravel & Coffee Social Gravel Peloton did ride out again. We went to have fun in the Antwerp Kempen. After our breakfast at Café SurPlace we left for our ride that often went along, the occasionally flooded, ‘Grote Nete’. The beautiful Kempen landscape allowed us to fully enjoy our adventure.

As usual we made a small video of it, see it on our Youtube Chanel.

Mostly good rolling Gravel roads, occasional mud.

The Group ride:
Our 2nd ride was a wet adventure, not that it rained a lot. But the days before our paths had changed into small rivers, mud baths and puddles that sometimes looked like small lakes.

However, this was not a brake on the pleasure that the gently rolling hills north-west of Brussels served us. Kim made a delicious breakfast and surprised us after the ride with a warming soup and pasta buffet, meantime we could watch the big Van Der Poel show.

The first Gravel & Coffee of 2020 became a small party, not only because it was Anneke’s birthday.

JP provided us with a cozy breakfast. A wonderful winter sun warmed us completely while we discovered the perfect gravel roads in the Schelde valley east of Ghent.

Thank you Bataia for hosting us
