What we’re about
Leisurely group rides around Brussels and beyond—it's forest trails, country lanes, and canal paths rather than intense road cycling.
The terrain is mostly paved but can also include compact gravel, cobblestones, and single track—so not great for road bikes with thin racing tires but anything else is fine. E-bikes allowed.
Easy to moderate pace of around 16 to 18km/h. Estimated duration is moving time and does not include lunch or other stops.
Bad weather will likely mean cancellation, so check the event page before start to confirm the go ahead.
Please bring a pump and spare inner tube and/or tire repair kit.
Last minute cancellations and no-shows are frowned upon. Only sign up if you really intend to go, and if you need to cancel then do so no less than 24hrs before start time.
By signing up to events you release organizers from any liability.

Trains
Get a return ticket to Brugge with half-price travel at weekends then train back to Brussels from Gent. You could also drive to Brugge with a bike and train from Gent back to Brugge.Most trains to Brugge continue to the coast so it could be busy. Try taking an earlier train if you can and hang out till we leave at 11:00.
For example from Brussels Midi:
- Dep 09:19 Arr 10:10
- Dep 09:28 Arr 10:26
- Dep 09:35 Arr 10:30
- Dep 09:51 Arr 10:50
- Dep 10:07 Arr 11:00
Remember you can't board a train with a bicycle at Gare Centrale, but Midi and Nord are fine.
