I'm in London and I have a weekend to kill before my flight home on
Monday. The UK is a wonderful place to cycle but I've spent a lot of time
there and want to visit somewhere else. I think I'll catch a train to
Belgium tomorrow afternoon and maybe go to Bruges and cycle around that
part of Flanders. Does anyone have good suggestions about where to best
rent a nice bike, cheap places to stay, or cycling itineraries that
shouldn't be missed?

Watch out for those relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owners with
low-grade narcolepsy and penchants for buggery. And his son. Who's trying to
take over the world.

Hi Paul TURNER,

Yes Belgium would be very nice to cycle and there are many places which
I prefer since there are not so much tourists but should you prefer
being between the tourists than I would strongly recomend Brugge.

The other places you could visit are the A'rdene however this is not so
flat as the cycling routs in the Neatherlands. Ofcourse you also have
good and reasonably flat routs such as the rout going between the two
flanders the east and the west (Oost Vlaanders) You can find them very
easy since you could be traveling with a train then when coming from
Oostend you can check out Brugge and should you pass St Niklaas than
you can always bike to Temse which is a good route and gets very
beutifull in nature as you pass St Amandsberg right the way to
Ooudenaarde.

Chep places are always possible within camping sites houever I do not
know what your planning is !

GOOD RIDE
