The Flanders region of Belgium is mostly flat, but that does not mean there is no great motorcycle riding to enjoy! We were pleasantly surprised by the lovely roads we discovered here, winding through the countryside and charming villages. And because this is the Chocolate and Beer tour, we have added some special stops along the way to match the theme. Expect a delicious mix of enjoyable riding, Belgian treats and local discoveries!
Bruges is the perfect base for this tour. With its beautiful canals, historic streets and medieval buildings, this charming city is a wonderful place to explore on foot after a day on the motorcycle.

For ride 1 of the Chocolate & Beer tour we have found 200 km / 125 miles of really nice biker roads for you to enjoy. This ride will take you to the Flanders area in the Netherlands as well, but don’t worry: also in this part of the Netherlands you will experience the Southern burgundy lifestyle. Of course the ride has some nice stops to enjoy a drink or bite to eat, with one of them truly in theme of the tour. And if you like fish, you’re in for a treat!

Another 200 km / 125 miles of surprisingly nice riding in ride 2 of the Chocolate & Beer tour. The stops that we added to this ride are even more in theme of the tour than ride 1. And we are ending ride 2 at a true and very cool biker stop, where you will definitely have a nice ending of your ride, enjoying a beer and maybe a burger!
