RR: Houffalize

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Sun shining, no clouds, excess holiday to use up - what better to do than
go riding? I shuffled down to Houffalize in the Southern Ardennes, a few
miles down the road from my usual haunt of La Roche.

<sigh> Six months and still in love...

Who thought it would be a good idea to put /that/ in the middle of the
trail? http://www.j-harris.net/bike/houffalize/P1010221.JPG

Canada should have an autobahn, that kind of speeding ticket would be a
couple hundred bucks.

for the bike!
