Off to Belgium

[derrick]

Am getting the bikes prepared for our trip, we are tacking the MTBs as we can fit the saddle bags on and all the other gear we need to take, but after riding the road bikes all year and not been on the MTBs, they feel like tanks, they weigh a ton, it's lucky it is not a fast hilly ride as i may struggle a bit, the couple we go with are not racers so that's alright, got a nice route planned stopping in some lovely looking towns, we will be celebrating my mates Birthday on the Saturday, so i don't think we will be doing many miles on Sunday, it seems ages ago we planned this but it's come round so quickly, i need the holiday, this is going to be fun.

Touring on a MTB - that's hard core.

What's your bike & how many miles - sorry, kilometres - are you doing?

They are both full suspension MTBs, got descent slicks on them so that will help, mileage will work out about 50 or so a day, so that won't be a problem.

Bonne chance.
