The Belgian Experience

Kortrijk is one of those cities that surprises you — a quiet powerhouse with just the right mix of charm and grit. It’s a crossroads of history and hustle, known for its key role as a rail hub and its deep roots in the flax industry. Today, it still holds its own as a leader in linen fiber production and exports, backed up by strong furniture and textile trades. This town doesn’t brag, it just delivers.The Leie River cuts through the heart of Kortrijk, once the lifeline of its flax legacy, now a picture-perfect backdrop for modern adventures. Around the iconic Broel Towers, you’ll find calm riverbanks that are anything but sleepy — they’re your launchpad. Whether you’re rolling out for a big day in the saddle or spinning easy before a coffee stop, the city’s mix of old-world architecture and modern creativity sets the tone.

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. Your only job is to enjoy yourself.

On all Endurance Nation itineraries, you will find recommended times and locations for arrivals and departures. Endurance Nation provides group transfers to and from the camp from the pick-up and drop-off locations stated on the itinerary. In the event your train, flight, or other travel falls outside the arrival or departure times or locations, you may be responsible for extra costs incurred in arranging a separate transfer.

HOW CAN I ENSURE MY BIKE IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED FOR ME?

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.

ROAD, GRAVEL, OR E-BIKE: WHICH BIKE IS RIGHT FOR ME?

This camp is considered a gravel camp due to the cobbles and extended off road time. Bring that gravel bike! If you are interested, please contact the Camp Coordinator for assistance if necessary.

RIDER LEVELS

Endurance Nation camps attract a wide range of riders — and we love that. These levels help us group riders with similar pacing and endurance so everyone gets the right ride, the right crew, and the right kind of challenge. This isn’t about ego or racing. It’s about making sure your wheels are in good company.Choose the level that feels most like how you ride today, not who you’re hoping to be next season.Level 1 – The Explorer
You ride for the experience, not the speed. Maybe you’re newer to group rides or coming back after time off the bike. You’re comfortable spinning for a few hours and open to new terrain, as long as there’s time to breathe, take photos, or stop for a coffee. You prefer smooth roads, light climbing, and plenty of support along the way.
> Weekly rides: 1–2> Typical long ride: 25–45 miles> Elevation: under 2,000 ft> Speed: 12–14 mphLevel 2 – The Weekend Rider
You’re a steady weekend warrior who likes a challenge — but not at the expense of fun. You’ve done some big days before, maybe a fondo or two, and feel comfortable handling longer efforts if there’s good company and a solid lunch stop involved. You’re not racing anyone, but you’re here to ride hard enough to feel it.
> Weekly rides: 2–3> Typical long ride: 40–65 miles> Elevation: around 2,000 ft> Speed: 14–17 mphLevel 3 – The Everyday Grinder
You ride regularly and aren’t afraid of some elevation or volume. Whether it’s outdoor weekend miles or indoor trainer sessions midweek, you’ve built enough fitness to hang with the group and enjoy longer, tougher rides. You’re not afraid of a hard push or getting dropped — you just want to ride well, recover, and do it again tomorrow.
> Weekly rides: 3–4> Typical long ride: 60–85 miles> Elevation: around 3,000 ft> Speed: 16–19 mphLevel 4 – The Diesel Engine
You’re consistent, strong, and smooth. You ride hard, but smart — and you know how to pace a group, manage effort, and stay strong on rolling terrain or long climbs. You thrive on bigger training blocks, and you come to camp ready to get a serious week of work done while still enjoying the camaraderie and post-ride hangouts.
> Weekly rides: 4–5> Typical long ride: 80–100 miles> Elevation: around 4,000 ft> Speed: 18–21 mphLevel 5 – The Machine
You’re built for big miles and back-to-back efforts. Whether you’re prepping for a race, riding competitively, or just love to grind — you show up fit, focused, and ready to put down serious work. You recover fast, push the pace, and know when to ride steady or go all-in. You don’t mind being the one others chase, and you welcome the volume.
> Weekly rides: 5+> Typical long ride: 90–120+ miles> Elevation: 4,000+ ft> Speed: 20+ mphNot sure where you fit?
