Day 3: 3rd June - A day ride through The Southern Eifel

Today we dive into the volcanic landscapes and sweeping curves of the Southern Eifel. Known for its “Alpine-style” twisties and perfectly cambered asphalt, this region is a playground for those who love a technical yet fluid ride. We’ll navigate through deep river valleys and past ancient maars (crater lakes), where the grip is legendary and the views of the German countryside are endless. It’s an exhilarating day of leaning through high-speed bends and tight forest hairpins—the ultimate expression of pure motorcycling freedom. We’ll pull over at a local café to recharge and swap stories before hitting the next set of curves.

Day 4: 4th June - Its' A Day Off or We ride the Belgium Ardennes

193 Miles

Approximate 4h 24 m

The next day began with the low hum of engines cutting through the cool morning air as the motorcycles rolled out onto winding roads that climbed and dipped through thick forest and open high ground. The tarmac twisted tightly, demanding focus and smooth control, each bend revealing another stretch of rising asphalt or a sweeping descent. The scent of damp leaves and earth lingered as the riders leaned into corners, the rhythm of throttle and brake becoming almost instinctive. It was a day of pure riding—challenging, immersive, and deeply satisfying—where every mile felt earned and every curve invited just a little more confidence.

Scenic river bends, and historic strongholds make this a thrilling and immersive ride — perfect for leaning into the curves, taking in the emerald views, and feeling the freedom of the open road. Passing through the legendary “horseshoe” loops of the Meuse and crossing the border near Bouillon and Florenville, we’ll stop for a coffee break in a quiet village square to soak in the atmosphere.

Day 7: 7th June - The Ride to Ypres

The ride into Ypres is a highlight of any Belgian tour, as the sweeping agricultural roads of West Flanders give way to the beautifully rebuilt medieval architecture of the city center. After a day of navigating the historic landscapes of the Salient, the evening culminates at the Menin Gate for the Last Post ceremony. Held every night at 8:00 PM, this moving tribute has been performed almost every single day since 1928. It is a dedicated act of remembrance for the soldiers of the British Empire and Commonwealth who died in the Ypres Salient during World War I and have no known grave. Standing among the crowd as the buglers’ notes echo through the massive stone arches is a profound, unforgettable experience that connects every rider to the deep history of the ground they’ve traveled.
