Tekstvak: XV EXCURSIONS

Last summer, on a hot sunny day we did an Ardennen trip and visited the capital cities Liège and Namen.

It was the first XV ride this year and it was no problem for the bike to do more than 300 kilometres on hilly and curvy roads.  Accompanying pictures show stops at the Congres Center in Liège, on top of the citadel in Namen and an ordinary tankstop for the thirsty XV.
