DISCOVERY RIDES

COLLECTION OF GRAVEL ROUTES
BBB is building a collection of gravel routes. These rides start from the same meeting point at the Kiosque, which is just a few minutes ride from the vast Foret de Soignes / Zoniënwoud.
New routes are added regularly, so keep an eye out for new tracks to explore.
FAQ - ABOUT BBB GO GRAVEL
– Minimum 33 mm tyres with profile!
– We ride, even if it’s raining or in case of poor weather.
– We do not ride in case of ice or dangerous wind.
– All traffic rules apply, no discussion, safety first!
– A helmet is mandatory.
– Spare inner tube mandatory.
– Warn and talk to each other when riding in group.
– No drop policy.
First of all, whatever the bike you’ll use, do not forget you should be able to ride between 2 or 3 hours on gravel routes before joining.
A bike with profiled tires, min width of 33 is recommended.
Can I join with a mountain bike?
Yes! About 1/4 to 1/3 of riders come on MTB.
Can I come with a commuter bike?
It’s not recommended as many of the routes involve technical sections (mud, rocks, sand, …) where a more dedicated bike helps a lot.
For sure! Should you want to raise up some suggestion, do not hesitate to get back to us.
