The Belgian Experience
Kortrijk is a city that beautifully blends big-city allure with small-town charm. Known for its significant role as a rail junction and the center of a thriving flax-growing region, Kortrijk stands as one of the largest producers and exporters of linen fibers in Western Europe. The city is also home to thriving furniture, wire, and cotton-weaving industries.Kortrijk’s appeal is closely tied to the Leie River, which once played a crucial role in the flax industry. Today, the river enhances the city's picturesque landscape, particularly around the iconic Broel Towers. The riverbanks offer a serene spot to relax and serve as a perfect starting point to explore Kortrijk’s vibrant downtown area. Here, you'll find a dynamic blend of ancient heritage, modern architecture, and boundless creativity, making it an ideal base for your cycling adventure.

Frequently asked Questions
WHERE CAN I FIND THE CAMP WAIVER?
The waiver is available online for download using this link: Training Camp Waiver -- You will consent to this at registration. You can always bring a back up copy to the camp as well.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE CAMP?
Accommodations, breakfast and dinner, two meals out on the town, and your first round of drinks at our official post ride pub stops. Our top priority is to make sure you Bike, Eat, Drink, and Sleep without a care in the world—only opening your wallet and lunchtime, when you want alcohol, or you choose an independent excursion.
IF I BOOK A CAMP, IS IT GUARANTEED TO RUN?
Most of our camps are guaranteed to run when 2 to 4 people (depending on the camp) are booked. An additional supplement may be required to run the camp if the minimum number of guests is not met. Please talk to your Camp Coordinator for more information.
ARE NON-RIDERS WELCOME AT THE CAMP?
Travelers with companions who prefer not to cycle should contact us to see if it’s possible to bring them along and if there are any available discounts. Independent folks are welcome to stay, dine, and explore the town while we focus on supporting the riders during daily rides.
HOW DO YOU ACCOMMODATE VARYING RIDING ABILITIES?
You are here becuase you love to ride. So do we! For some, that means stopping to savor the view, while others may want to test their limits. Our guide-to-guest ratio is never larger than 8:1. Every day you’ll be joined by at least one guide on the road. Our daily routes also include longer and shorter ride options. Dedicated cyclists almost always have the opportunity to go longer at the end of the day.If fitness is a concern, e-bikes provide an extra boost to your own pedal power, so you can ride longer distances, tackle tougher climbs, and maintain a faster pace in the company of family or friends who cycle at a different level. You will need to secure this on your own for this camp. For completely custom routes that include everything you want and nothing you don’t, we recommend a Private camp. Contact the Camp Coordinator for more information.
HOW DO YOU ACCOMMODATE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS?
We do our best to meet your dietary needs and communicate your restrictions, allergies, and preferences for restaurant meals. We make sure that all meal opportunities give you personal choice. When booking a camp, we recommend discussing dietary restrictions with our Camp Coordinator to ensure your destination is a good fit based on local cuisine. Once you’ve booked your camp, we gather detailed information about your dietary preferences to alert your guides in advance.
WHAT IS A SINGLE SUPPLEMENT?
Our bike camps are priced based on double occupancy. A Single Supplement is an additional charge that secures a private room for solo travelers. If you are traveling alone and would prefer a particular roommate, please notify your Camp Coordinator. Although we cannot guarantee a match, we will make every effort to pair you with another solo traveler in order to waive the Single Supplement.
WHAT IF I HAVE TO CANCEL OR CHANGE MY CAMP?
Please refer to our cancellation policy for details.
SHOULD I PURCHASE TRAVEL PROTECTION?
A Travel Protection Plan protects your travel investment, your belongings, and most importantly, you. We always advise travelers to enroll in a Travel Protection Plan in case an unexpected event causes you to cancel or leave your camp. We recommend SportsCover Direct for travel insurance.
HOW SHOULD I TRAIN FOR THE CAMP?
Most camps require you to ride between 40 and 60 miles every day except for the rest day. This means a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 hours on the bike with cafe stops and lunch stops typically every 90 minutes. We recommend most athletes train for the 12 weeks leading up to their experience. If you need a training plan or support, contact the Camp Coordinator.
WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT CAN I EXPECT WHILE ON CAMP?
99.9% of you don't ride with a support van trailing behind you with hazard lights on. Good news, that won't happen at our camps either.Carry your food, fluids, and gear, just like you do at home. Our guides can help you handles any mechanical issues, and there is always a bailout option if needed.When you’re on the bike, our guides are constantly looking out for your safety. Each route will have cafe or waterstops where you can refill and refuel as needed.Your guides can even book you a massage appointment, and they handle the bill at restaurants.

Every camp begins with a bike fitting so that adjustments can be made as needed to your bike. Bike fittings either happen on-site at our lodging or at a local store. If you have specific bike fit requirements, you may request a Bike Fit Form from the Camp Coordinator to input your exact measurements so we can pass along to our partners.
CAN I BRING MY OWN BIKE?
Yes, for this camp we REQUIRE you to bring your own gravel bike with you. You'll want maximum comfort and confidence on the most challenging routes in Europe.
CAN I BRING MY OWN PEDALS AND/OR BIKE SEAT?
Yes! Personalize your rental bike with your pedals and saddle (just remember your own shoes). If you love data, bring that computer mount and all the requisite charging cables as well. Our bike partners will install both for you at the beginning of the camp.
