Riding Bikes in Belgium - 4th May to 7th May ??

Before I speak to other cycling buddies....

I have been contacted by a lady who hosted me and some friends for Flanders a few years ago about availability at her brilliant B&B just north of Oudenaarde.

See the belgian website- http://www.cosyhuisje.be/ Its an amazing converted garage at the rear of her house...

I am free on the 4-6th May and quite fancy jumping in my estate and heading over and doing some boozing and hard riding in prep for paris-roubaix.

If anyone is interested please let me know by close of play tomorrow... It is always great fun and easy to pop over and back...

In.

Would love to do that. Count me in.

Great - I will lock down the accomodation in the garage at the back (two x twins) and then if we get to 5 people I will take the room in the house with lovely Rita....

Ello ello.

Hot tub !

Thats extra - and a fair bit extra - but last time we just said fug it...

I'd be keen for this, if you've still got space 🇧🇪🚲

I'd be happy to join! I've noticed the Monday is a Bank Holiday, so that works out really well. Think Matt_N is keen too.

edit: speak of the devil...

I had totally missed that it was a bank holiday so I will think about if its Friday to Sunday or if we extend into Monday and avoid any time off work.... probably would make more sense to leave v early on Saturday and have Sat and Sunday night there...

We have max 5 people in my car with 5 bikes on tow bar rack..
The garage at the B&B has a double room and a twin at 310 Euros for the two nights - circa 100 euros each for the three people
The room in the house is also probably a double but am double checking.. This is also 100 Euros for two nights

So, without sharing beds or an extra bed the capacity is 4 or 5 people - I have asked Rita about an extra bed on the floor... I think thats what we did last time.

I've had a variety of interest on here and on text with some people saying yes subject to wife confirmation last night...

I will sort out tomorrow and confirm

By the way - I have paid a deposit for the accom so you @Ved and @Mat are on the hook anyways and confirmed as you said yes early doors before the surge in interest

Head to toe and we double our sleeping capacity?

Good stuff. Is in the diary.

HA!

Is @DavidM coming ?

;)

Sorry, bit late to party.

And I've had a boozy lunch.

What tow bar rack have you got @Anton_D ? Was looking into getting one of those

I have a seasucker double which can go on top too.

Blimey, those look ace. Are we posh biking it or cx bikes?

Mat.

CX season is over.

I meant CX bikes with 25's like wot you rode on Sunday

I'm going to take the Pony Biek (tm)
