Mud was invented in Belgium

im going to belgium in april and if I see lots of spandex, v brakes and NO body armer, 45 lb bikes then I will……. be on vacation and I will…..drink another beer.

if you are into old towns and cities, make sure to check out Spa in the Ardennes.

I feel like this article ended up on some Belgian MTB website…

Hi,
I'm from belgium too and David's story has al lot of truth in it. But there is a small fraction of people that ride big bikes. There's not much sense of buying a big bike in Belgium unless you want to take it to place like Winterberg in Germany, Portes du Soleil in France or 7 Stanes in Scotland. That's what most of the guys (and a couple of girls too) do with their big bikes.
Once the mud has dried up, there's a lot of fun to have in the Ardennes in the southern part of Belgium. We're riding "toertochten" there nearly every weekend from March till November. And if you hit the region of Eupen, Malmedy, Banneux etc. there's always a lot of fun to have. Watch out for the Challenge GHF, their rides are well organised.
If you understand a little dutch, most of the gravity crowd resides at http://www.dirty-pages.net
