Because of the ongoing Corona/Covid-19 crisis we decided to create a small series of 3 one-day adventures this summer in Luxemburg, Belgium’s most Southern province. We’re pretty confident we will be able to pull this off as the situation is developing in a positive way.
The Southern Part of Belgium is well known for its beautiful valleys, dense forests, steep climbing and rough stuff. In this area there are hardly any smooth gravel roads like we tend to find in the High Fens or in the Eifel. The rides will be a bit more bumpy, technical and with the occasional hike a bike but that will all be more than compensated by the gorgeous experience you will have during the day. The rides are aimed at dropbar bicycles but plus-bikes or mountainbikes would be a good pick too. We’ll leave it up to you what and how you want to ride. Bring your own food and drinks for a full day of riding. The average distance covered will be around 90k and you’ll have to do an average of 1500m of climbing on each ride. We will do a group start and finish the day with some well deserved drinks if we’re allowed to.
Each participant will receive an exclusive sew-on patch especially made for this series and as a remembrance of this “black” summer …
Of course we all care about everybody’s health so the rides will be small-scale, we max out at 20 participants for each ride and we expect everybody to behave according current governmental health/safety measures.
St-Hubert is named after, gues who, St.-Hubert, the patron saint of huntsmen and also called the apostle of the Ardennes. His body is buried in the abbey close to our starting point. With all the hunting activity going on there, it is needless to say that there are some great forests surrounding this town that need some exploration in the off-season with the guns & the huntsmen locked inside their homes. Our map tells us that we might just run into a huge abandoned NATO airfield too.
This is a roughstuff ride, bigger tires will give you more comfort. Hiking your bike on some sections might be possible.
Total Distance: 99km - Positive Denivilation: 1900m
Membership included in ticket price.
