Next Year's Retro Ronde
- Thread starter Johnsqual
- Start date
Well now you mention it, I live in Belgium and Merckx's birthplace is not too far from where I live (the region is Vlaams Brabant on the other side of Brussels from West Vlaanderen).
If there's any interest, I could put together a route that goes through the village (called Meensel Kiezegem) and we could do a little pilgrimage, maybe on the Friday or Saturday before the Ronde. There are a couple of local breweries we could visit too. I might even be able to provide a suitably Flemish dinner if people are interested.
Like I say, if there's interest let me know and we could start making some plans.

Sounds good. I would need to arrange things with other Yorkshire members to make an economic car full - and co-ordinate with Ed Edwards as well to make sure we're not duplicating effort.
I'd take my Flandria homage machine.
Anyone from my area want to PM me to make a start on this?
However, as I've mentioned elsewhere, I could be making a holiday of this and Velo D'Anjou if my daughter is still in France - but it'll be worth seeing what the interest is from 'oop North.

Really? Great stuff, chaps, I'll pencil it in the diary and hopefully we can sort it out.

My bike's ready, just had a chat with it and he's well up for it.
I wonder what Mrs. Bugloss and the small Buglosians are going to say ? I'll probably have to swing it as an extension to a business trip somehow.
Edit: Flights to Londinium booked. Hope they don't change the date :roll:
Edit2: Hotel Cesar booked for the 14 & 15 right on the town square, can't wait.
