From August 12 to 15, the FFCB organised the second edition of their Wallonia Gravel Tours. Unlike last year, this second edition focused on one single of the Wallonian provinces, Hainaut. Four stages, took the gravellers from Enghien to Charleroi and subsequently Mons and Tournai before returning to the starting point. Four days of gravel, each of between 110 and 125 km along some of the highlights of Hainaut.

Among with about 70 other participants we chose the ‘Tourist’ formula which included stays, dinner and breakfast at the Youth Hostels at the end of each stage. The ideal way to meet new people and grow friendships along the route.

What started in the pouring rain on Saturday, ended with three days of sunny weather, many nice chats, some new local beer tastings and uncountable memories.

Thank you to Mark and Philippe for the nice route and to the entire velaventure.org and ffcb team the very good organisation!
