 rules are there to break . . . by filipdebont
But it can happen that these tracks are in bad condition, that these tracks are full of small stones or even rests of glass, and then of course it is better to ride on the road. It is certainly better for tour tyres. It is not so funny if you need to stop to repair a flat tyre.
Of course for bigger groups it is safer and also allowed to ride on the road.
I know that in Belgium you are allowed to dive on the road if your group is bigger then 15 persons. I am not certain what the regulations are in France. Leave a Comment

 army truck by filipdebont
I managed to climb the hill, but I could not get really much closer, because even the back was fenced with barb wire. But anyway I did find a better spot to make a picture of this old army truck. Leave a Comment

 lets ride, baby by filipdebont
Lucky for us, the organisers did choose better roads for us; otherwise the day would have ended with a sour but. Leave a Comment

 a bouquet of
lily-of-the-valley by filipdebont
Muguet =lily-of-the-valley.
As in this region it is a custom that everyone buys a bouquet of lily-of-the valley for his beloved one.
So as I was visiting this beautiful and hospitable region, I wanted to participate with this custom. So I also bought a small bouquet of flowers.
It is so strange that custom can change per region, as I live about 70 – 80 km from this region. And in my region this does not exist. This proves that you not always have to fly to the other side of the world to discover something new. Leave a Comment

 This must be Hell by filipdebont
And one of worst parts of this legendary race is certainly the passage through the wood of Wallers - Arenberg.
Our tour trip passed at the entry of this road, well I don't know if you still can name this cobbled road a road, as it is in such bad condition.
As you can see cars are not allowed to pass here only bicycles are allowed to pass here.
Lucky for us, we did not take this road. Leave a Comment

 at the start by filipdebont
This organisation had trips for race bikes and also trips for mountainbikes.
For both trips there were different distances.
For the race bike you could choose from 20km / 40 km / 65 km / 80km and 90 km.
For the mountainbike (VTT) you could choose from 15km / 25km / 40 km.
As there so much woods in this region it must be fantastic to do some mountainbiking.
But I was here with my race bike and I decided to do the 65 km

 in the woods by filipdebont
So it was great to ride along these avenues. For many kilometres we did ride in the green, natural background. That was great; it was quiet and away from heavy car traffic.
I told you before that this must be a great region to do some mountain biking, may be an idea for next year . . . Leave a Comment

 Former coal mine by filipdebont
Here you see the remains of the mine of Arenberg. The big elevator towers still remain as silent witnesses of a successful past. The closing of the many mines has been terrible for the economics and social situation in this region.
Nowadays some of these mines can be visited, like the coal mine of Wallers Arenberg; you can see the mining site with its 3 frames, mine buildings, which are a living reconstitution of coal mining and its miners.
