Did some training with Joeri for our upcoming race in 2 weeks in Chamonix and decided to do a long run together on a new unknown —to us— route. Sadly every-time we saw a forest or interesting gravel path in the distance the route either took a hard left or right … So it turned out not the be the best route for running with limited amounts of gravel paths, but let's write it up as good mental training?
When nearing Bruges we got to the Gentpoort which was under renovation. We could have followed the R30 on the other bank but wanted to stay as true to the route as possible so instead we took a deviation via the Westerly Katelijnepoort which added ±1100m to our route before returning to the Gentpoort. Luckily there was a fresh water fountain when we finished the detour.
