Do the BOB - Borders of Belgium - BRM 1000km 4 September 2014.

[Bugloss]

I realise that there was a thread discussing 1000km rides in 2014, but seeings its now July, I thought I would ask if anyone was doing the BOB in September ?

I've heard the beer is good in that neck of the woods.

Starts a mere 60km's or so from the Eurostar terminal in Brussels, which makes it super easy for an extended long weekend. You can take your bike on the Eurostar for £35.00 each way.

They're pretty damn slow publishing any usable detail about the route.  I had a look for a site in French but no go. Anyone speak Flemish?

Ivo does Flemish.
I got an email from them about camping at the controls, so there is life. The link above ☝︎ takes you to an English translation

Just had a missive from Team BOB

GPX file of the route will be available at the end of the month

The provisional gpx route has been published here and it looks like it misses out the beastly hills of Longwy/Mexy in the SE corner by Luxembourg:
