Training to Givet by the Belgium Team

On Monday, 1 June, the Belgium team cycled about 100km to Givet, a picturisque town along the Meuse river. A smorgasbord of flavors come from this lofty land in the hilly southeast of Belgium: game, wild boar, venison, smoked ham, the region's famous paté and world-renowned Trappist beers. Looking at the photos it seemed like a brilliant day was had by all, stopping for strawberries and cream and a nice Trappist beer. Knowing Belgium, the scenery along the cycle roads are beautiful , BUT very flat. I am afraid boys, you will have to head to France or Switserland to do some hill training.

Concentrating on the flat roads Wayne?

A well deserved Trappist beer.
