We'll stay two nights here with optional canal boat trip and a  walking tour of the local micro breweries. The Kempenrit event itself is on the sunday and consists of a road run through the Belgium countryside.

The group will then split with some returning to the UK and others travelling on to Switzerland to attend the European Event, a trip that will take in some spectacular Alpine passes including a return visit to the Stelvio.
