Since the bike has been completely overhauled after our last bigger tour in Iceland 2018, Nicolas and I initially intended to tackle Scandinavia and Finland for the 2020 season. But Covid19 decided otherwise ....
By mid June 2020 Norway and Finland are still closed for tourists, Sweden is stumbling over a recent infection wave and we cannot go to the North yet.
School is finished by now and we will instead do a 4-5 day "introduction trip" into nearby Champagne / Aube region.
Small country roads, cosy villages, vineyards, castles, lakes, typical regional sausages (Andouillette) are waiting for us to be (re)discovered.
At the same time, this mini trip allows us to test our new camping gear: inflatable tent, hammocks, camping box (mobile kitchen), ....
From Brussels, our route brings us to the French border via Charleroi. Then crossing the "Parc naturel de l'Avesnois" heading straight south to the heart of the Champagne region, Epernay.
We will hit the Seine river soon and stay a few days around historical city of Troyes. Back to Belgium longing the Lorraine border up North into the French Ardennes.
Total distance approximately 1.300 km.
Weather looks good, almost too warm for a bike trip ... we'll take it anyway 😎
