You Singletrack people out there should give Belgium a go. There’s some great trails out there, not only Houffalize but following the hills up to La-Roche or Spa. Not only that but the road between Houffalize and La-Roche really is a blast if you’ve a motorbike or Caterham type vehicle……
The trails are often well marked; a kind of mix between natural and trail centre riding. Plus the food and beer is way better than we get here. Often you can follow the route of a big XC event weeks afterwards [160km for the brave] as they lay down chalk markers – and some of their routes are very creative.
Just be warned that after 6pm in some areas it is hunting season, so wear bright colours.
Big hills, creative routes, good beer. Job done.
n.b. for some reason the link goes to my blog and not to the Belgium bit – apologies for this as it is not my intention to direct you there! Sorry but for the Belgium bit you’ll have to scroll down. 😕
