  1. Sorry about this, but I do like to plan ahead...

    I'm thinking about doing a cycle tour round the Ypres Salient (Belgium)
    next August, ahen I have an enforced 2-week layoff.

    Would there be any classic races to watch at that time of year? Shame
    Paris-Roubaix is in spring...

    Also, what's the best way to get from Zeebrugge to, say, Arras by/with
    me pushiron? I'm not sure I fancy spending a whole 120 mile day across
    the industrian estates of northern Belgium. Brugge is only 10 miles from
    the boat though, I was wondering about train or bikebus?

    Absolute novice at cycling abroad, however I have thousands of miles on
    motorcycles in Europe which will hopefully stand me in good stead.

    Oh, and should I take me tent or stay in BnB?

    All advice gratefully received,

    Tony B

  2. I have rode through Holland and Belgium and have had no problems. It is not
    like England the motorists show respect The decision to camp or B&B is down
    to personal preference. If you are happy to carry camping gear, Camp. If you
    would rather travel light ,B&B. It's up to you. I would just get there and
    ride it is a pleasure no mater where you are.

    GOOD LUCK

    Cliff
