This thread makes me miss Belgium like MAD!

When I lived there I wasn't really a 'cycling' for pleasure lass yet... still was a cycling for utility girl as I had been through most of my youth. I don't think I had any real appreciation for the sheer volume of bike safe routes. I remember before school started up in Brugge that we did some really nice rides to Knokke-Heist and Sluis, NL but it's been ten years and the memories are distant. I remember pulling ourselves across canals on a cable-guided raft too! So neat. Damme was also a favorite place to ride to as well.

Anyway, I think a bike tour of Flanders and the Netherlands is in order... maybe that will be my next vacation, although my mom wants me to go to Australia and stay with her friend in Sydney for a month. She's got three teenage boys and has always wanted a daughter! Also, I probably need a touring bike first... all in good time!
