Anyone heard of it ? well health freaks look away,touring brewerys across belgium and holland.We went a few months ago and did the bridges from operation market garden.Had some great days ,nice beer and it took 10 days to do 100km (don't laugh).The guys that run it are a great bunch,very accomodating and its a great experience....highly recommend it.

That sounds fantastic. I couldn't possibly trust myself.

Thats not a bike tour, it`s a pub crawl.

At that speed it can hardlings be called a crawl either

Sounds fun, I love those places and the beer. Ive been thinking of doing something similar next year, but with a bit more cycling involved. 10k a day is probably pretty decent if you're not a regular cyclist, or very very hungover

Hi guys! I run www.beercycling.com. Just to clarify, our 10-day tours average closer to 344 kms. Try to keep about 50 km a day average with a few days off as well. You can see more detailed info on our website. Tony, not sure if you were referring to us or possibly another company with a similar name? I'm not sure who you are... Cheers guys! -Evan

Your avatar tells me you've done that tour already :P

I was on a motorbike though and so that doesn`t count

There's no doubt that a Bicycle is the very best way to tour most battlefields. Arnhem is a wonderful 2 day cycle and bikes are available to hire at the Hotel Bilderburg at Wolfheze which is midway between the landing zones and the Museum. Thoroughly recommended.

You were bloody lucky then!

I used to cycle a lot in the middle of the night after sessions in the pub, 12 miles of A road back to Oxford. It was really stupid but quiet and I never really felt out of control. Last year I rode off for ciggies at 2am and broke my collarbone on the way back. Wrapped myself round a lamp post. Haven't cycled drunk since!
