Dates and other info
Lads, dates for this adventure have been finalized!!
All should arrive in Belgium on Fri, July 9th, 2010. Begin pedaling on sat. Arrive in Bruges on Fri night, July 16. Fly out on Saturday or later.
Flying into Amsterdam might be the cheapest with a train ride down to the town of Florenville. Round trip train between Amsterdam and Brussels is about $100 so factor that when comparing costs of flying into Brussels vs Amsterdam.
Once in Belgium I am budgeting about 100 Euros/day/person. Hotels have more or less been selected. Arranged the route to accommodate 2 tastings/day with one day of 3.
Thus far the group consists of 4 guys.
Please let me know if you know for sure that you'll be unable to make it.

Route
Think I might have found ourselves a route!! French speaking Wallonia.
Roughly 250 miles over 7 days of riding breaks down to an average of a respectable 35 miles a day. The majority being a well marked bike-specific route through forests and such that don't even appear in Google Maps as roads!!
Start at the famous Orval Brewery in the south, finishing in Brugge. From Brugge, easy direct train to the airport in Brussels.
11+ breweries to visit/drink with 3 being Trappiste.
Another thought was to skip Brussels altogether. Not a fan of cycling out of Brussels. Most of us will arrive in the early morning so better to hop a train with bikes and take it out of town right away. That way we can start riding the following day.
Meet in the town of Florenville close to the brewery on travel day.
Ignore the route that heads north towards Brussels in the middle of the map.
Clicking on the wine glass(no beer glass available) reveals more info on the brewery.
