Gent = biking. Sort of. There are bikes everywhere and in every shape you can imagine

Saturday: On a rented city bike
I rent a regular city bike and recon I go for a short ride. Well, the weather is unusually nice and it became 53km.

Sunday: XC-ride with Mathias
This is just fantastic. Not only to meet up after many years, but the fact that he has a spare bike to do some 70km XC in the area together. It’s flat but full of trails to choose from

We go all over
