Arrive in Heverlee at your own pace and check in to the Lodge Hotel. In the evening, we'll meet the group where you'll get to know your fellow riders. For those that arrive in the afternoon we'll head out for a short warm up ride. If you would like to make the trip a little longer, you can arrive the day earlier and stay an extra night at the end as well to give you a chance to further explore.
We'll take on the western part of the route first, which will take us through some incredible forest riding with gradual smooth climbs. We'll go through lots of quintessential Belgium villages and stop a long the way. After the ride, we head to a local brewery for a small tour & tasting. We'll then come together in the evening for a dinner.
For the final day of riding we'll head out east, with varied landscape through some field riding, tracks and some shorter steeper climbs, passing through quaint villages and abandoned monasteries. We'll be sure to stop for a Belgian coffee & cake before having a late lunch together at the end of the ride. You can depart from around 3pm or choose to add an extra night on an explore the historic city of Leuven.

I was immediately hooked by the sense of freedom and connection it brings. What started as a personal challenge quickly became a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve come to love sharing that experience and showing people the best gravel roads, quiet climbs, and incredible landscapes that make this region so special.
