The 2011 Spring Cycle Tour is planned for the weekend of 13th-15th May and will be in Brugge, Belgium. Graham has negotiated a group rate of 95 euros per room per night on a B&B basis.The Hotel is a traditional Belgium hotel, all the rooms are different, and the Hotel boasts its own bar and restaurant next door. Permission has been given to keep our bikes in the rooms for safety.
There currently two options for the travel:
Option 1, Park the cars at Dover, go over as foot passengers, then cycle the 60 miles, via canal paths to Brugge, with a couple of back up vehicles for baggage, and for people who do not wish to pack in too much mileage.
Option 2, drive over as in previous years, only 60 miles, the only drawback, parking in Brugge Centre is quite expensive at about 20 euros per day.
The Rides ! -
Flat as a pancake if you want it that way (which we probably won't). The city of Gent only 35 miles away, and the coast at Zebrugge, to the north only 25 miles away, canal paths with no traffic, or quiet roads. Graham says he can even seek out some of the infamous cobbles.
The Format -
If we cycle over to Brugge, then we will have to cycle back to Dunkirk so 2 days at 60 miles. The Saturday ride is likely to be 80 miles, so a massive total for the weekend of 200 miles. There is also a leisurely ride around the canal paths of the City planned for friday afternoon /eve.
The Saturday ride will be planned so all the group can get back together at tea stops and lunch breaks, and hopefully all complete the distance.
