    Just saw your vid pop up in my feed, great content and welcome to a European winter. I'm from the UK and it rained most of the 500 but I'm off to Belgium in February and I can't wait

      Thank you so much. Glad I made it onto your feed!! I did see the UK was very wet, and we actually missed it in Belgium to my surprise!

      Thanks David! What's the riding around Antwerp like? Haven't considered heading up that way yet.

    In belgium you need to give way to the right at most intersections there are markings that indicate that triangle with a cross. There are also a lot of signalisations to indicate that you have right of way, or need to give way to all … the detailled rules you need to search for

      Yea full mistake on my part. Will certainly be studying the full road rules now to insure I’m properly clued up.

    Classic Wellington was very windy for most of the 500 time period so you didn't miss much

      Nowhere is windy like Wellington! I’m yet to experience any proper wind here.

      Hey Alain. I did think of you last week. After the mud bath of day 1, I decided to just stick to the road to help do more kms for the time I had available. Gravel bike got abit minced that first day, so I’m abit reluctant to ride it in the mud until the rest of my tools show up from NZ. I will certainly reach out once Im ready to explore the forest more.
