Me, although I've not booked a ferry or registered yet.
Bairdy's Rolling Roadblock of Rock will be patrolling the Belgian borders, any requests for tunes on the ipod must reach me no later than two weeks before the start of the ride.Hallo Gallo is already on the playlist.

Looks like a great route. Unfortunately I can't fit this in this year ... how frequently is it run - every 2 years or whenever ?

Ferries are the lesser problem if you plan on using a trike. The route consists of a lot of converted railroads, nicely flat but with barriers preventing cars driving on them. On 2-wheels these barriers can be a nuisance, on a 3 wheels they are a problem.A superb route but beware the Ardennes, make sure you have a nice time buffer before you enter the Ardennes.

Gabriële Patzner and a fellow German. The guy (I think his name is Hajo) made in 47.5 hours and was the second finisher. Gabriële had it difficult in the Ardennes, but finished extremely well in just under 71 hours. Neither gave remarks about difficulties to pass any barriers. Needless to mention that both of them were very well prepared and riding a velomobile is a habit for them.I ride a ICE trike but not that much. I did a 200 last year and that went well, but I will be thinking twice about riding the Borders of Belgium with my trike. Maybe on a 2-wheeled recumbent (like 4 other riders in 2014)...
Besides, it wouldn't be audacious if success were guaranteed.
Might go, seems like a bargain @ €10, I'll have to ride to the start and back though. Good job it starts in the north.Dut,du,du...Dut,du,du...Cruising the streets.
