Q & A
What would you have changed?
Definitely 1st step's length: we foresaw 98 km and it became 115 km due to some mistakes. Way too long, the last hour was barely bearable. For city-bikers just like us, I would recommend a maximum of 60 km a day.
Anything go wrong during the trip?
On day 1, we were under the rain for the first 5 hours. Welcome to Belgium guys!
How was the food?
How was the food? Easy. We had a picnic, a stop in Silenrieux friterie and 2 in Mons restaurants. Know that in Wallonia's friteries, French fries portions are super big.
What tips would you give a friend?
In Mons, stay at the Auberge de Jeunesse de Mons. Beautiful from the outside, large, clean and cosy inside, with a lot of facilities and best location.
Packing tips?
Take a spare tube and learn how to change it. Or, in case you get a flat tire 30 min before the end of the trip, make local friends who can help you.
