Ardennes Arbalète - Day 4 - Bergueme - Marloie

This is the route we biked today

Another early start as we wanted to be on time for our train at 15:38. Everything went pretty smooth and i noticed that i’m getting better at packing everything up (although still some time before i get as quick as Bart 😅)

At the beginning of the route we started with a group favourite: overgrown paths! So fun to get stuck in the grass and bushes and get covered with ticks 🙃

As we shortcutted the official route we had a couple of paths that went poof! So we had to do some creative riding to get to the right spot. We try to do this as little as possible but sometimes there is no other option.

We had nice and calm roads today with fun climbs and downhills. I’m always amazed with the level of fun Komoot routing gives us. We made really good progress and had to take a prolonged stop as we would have been 2 hours too early at the train station.

There were some people at the station but it was pretty calm. We were jokingly saying that we would have a whole traincar for ourselves as we smelled quite a bit 😋

But the opposite happened, we managed to just squeeze our bikes on board and had to sit in an awkward position until Ottignies. Luckily the next train was nice and calm.

All in all a fun trip albeit with some extra adventures and challenges but isn’t that one of the main reasons we do this?

Until the next one!
