Trip Overview
Ride from London through Kent, cross the Channel by ferry, and finish in one of Belgium's most beautiful cities. Bruges — with its medieval architecture, canals, and legendary chocolate — is the perfect cycling destination and a well-earned reward after two or three days in the saddle. The English leg takes you through the garden of England and down to the Channel ferry port. After crossing to Calais or Dunkirk, you ride through the flat Flanders countryside into Bruges. The route is achievable, varied, and finishes in one of Europe's most Instagram-worthy cities.
Who is this for?
A manageable European ride for regular cyclists. The Kent section has some rolling hills but Flanders is flat. Total distance is shorter than most of our multi-day routes, making it great for first-time international challenges.

"This was my first time cycling with Adventure Cafe; first time riding from London to Paris and my first time riding this sort of distance over 3 days. Lots of preparation had gone into this from AC prior to departing London."
