Going into the final fase of the creation of a Le Coffee Ride Bikepacking light range, late summer was ideal for a 3 day bike travel adventure.
We set of from Liège ( Visé ) towards Amsterdam passing Antwerp and the beautiful Zeeland region South West of the Netherlands.
Experiencing bike travel and making a final test for our prototype frame and saddle bags that are planned for production before the end of this year.
Stage 1 Visé ( Liège ) – Grobbedonk ( Antwerp ) : 125 km

Yerseke is a nice village along the water to have a rest and try some Dutch sea food ( haring & kibbeling would be our suggestion )
From here it is al pure sea, water and dams towards Ouddorp crossing the famous ‘ Oosterscheldekering ‘ a impressive storm surge barrier dam.

We had a great stop at beachclubc Nordwijk , you might also like Branding beachclub 200m up north.
