D1: Battle of the gravel

First day of biking!

Easy first route to warm n up our legs. We also got a taste of the hills and gravel biking road infrastructure (Ravel lines). We switched our route half way to go back on the small country roads instead of the gravel as it was not a super comfortable experience.

Bastogne is really nice and we went to the war museum and learned a lot about the “Battle of the Bulge” that happened there. The special beer of the day was a “Patton” branded triple that ended being very nice.

Tomorrow we go to the first monastery (Orval) and take on our first big ride!
