Notes:

• Due to the nature of this trip & the extensive planning involved, unfortunately the entry list of Cycling UK members is already full & no new riders are being accepted.
• Routes are mostly based on “official” routes. However, the Tuesday & Friday routes will be partly/fully bespoke routes. Whilst every care will be taken to ensure that all routes are suitable & safe, they obviously cannot be recced in advance.
• Riders are responsible for organising their own transport to Ghent & accommodation there.
• An emergency contacts sheet has been prepared & will be completed fully nearer the time – riders are required to carry this will them on all rides. 
• Riders are also advised to ensure that they have suitable travel insurance & again, to carry this info with them on all rides.
