The Tour
|
Each participant can cycle the stages
at his/her own pace. You can choose to cover the
distance in a more or less relaxing way with exploring
the local villages,
photo stops at every chosen moment or a well deserved
break in a cafe. Alternatively, you can try to cover
the distance as fast you can.
We provide GPS-tracks, so that
you can find the correct way through the tangle of roads
in this heavy populated area of Europe.

Support
Vehicles
|
The journey is supported by one
vehicle. It brings the luggage, so you don't have to carry
luggage on your bike. Next to that gives the vehicle support on
the road and provides a lunch half way the stage.
The cyclists who are not able to ride, or cannot finish
the stage, have always the possibility to take a seat in
the support vehicles. We will take care that
everyone arrives at the finish location before the
evening. |
| |
Food
|
The hotels provide every day an
extensive breakfast. During cycling stages we offer
halfway a tasty lunch and we make sure that you can
recover at the end of the stage with some refreshments.
Next to that we provide fruit, energy drinks and energy
bars.
We have 11 times dinner together at the hotel after the
stage. The other 5 evenings on cycling days, the three
rest days and the travel day you have the opportunity to
explore and sample the local cuisine on your own. |

Accommodation
|
You stay the whole journey in hotels.
The night before the start and after the finish you stay
in the same hotel in Brussels.
We have planned the tour in a way that you stay several
nights in the same hotel. This reduces the luggage
handling and gives you the time to enjoy a comfortable
stay. |
| |
Participants
|
The number of participants is
limited due to organizational reasons. For people from
all over the world it is possible to sign up for the
tour.
The tour is open for men and women with an age between
16 and 70. Everyone with a good health and passion for
cycling can finish the journey in a normal way.

Non-Cyclists
|
It is an
option to join as non-cycling participant, which means
that you can take a seat in one of the support vehicles.
You make the same journey as the cycling participant,
it's only not on the bike.
You can help the crew with shopping or prepare the
lunch halfway; but first of all : you must enjoy the
journey. We will not asked you to help. It's all up to
yourself if you want to help. We prefer that all
participants ( and especially the non-cyclists ) visit
the local towns and villages where we stay.
The registration and Entry Fee is similar as for cyclists.
