Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 is cycle touring in Europe Tuesday, 25th-July-2023. Overijse to Ghent. 60 miles. A surprising amount of miles, considering I was pratting around in Brussels for a couple of hours. Only three cuts and two bruises to report today. I know where I got the cuts. But the bruises are a mystery.
It’s been a mostly flat ride today. Probably why I’ve done more miles than I’d expected. And I wasn’t expecting to get to Ghent tonight. Brussels was good and surprisingly quiet around the major attractions. Just how I like it. Mind you it was raining for part of my visit. There are a lot of EU buildings. Every other one seemed to be something to do with the European Union.
That’s about it for today. Tonight’s campsite is full of cyclists. I’m not sure if Ghent is on a recognised cyclist route. It is on a canal, and the French do make good cycle routes along canals.
