A couple of years ago I did all streets of Bruges during the night, a 138kms and a cool Strava-pic at the end.
Somewhere in December the idea popped up to cycle all streets of Gistel, Oostende & Beernem during the Festive500.
Why those cities?
Because each one of us has one or more connections with those cities.
Tante Terry (https://www.instagram.com/thunder_terry/) lives in Gistel and I was raised there and lived there until my 22nd birthday. But she's originally from Ostend, so we had to do that city as well, and another 2 friends joined. N8Rid(d)er Tom (https://www.instagram.com/tom.ginocartsbikes/) and of course POCMan Ruben (https://www.instagram.com/rubencasier/). And Beernem as the 3rd one, because I live there.
