Bikepacking Weekend to Remember | France🇫🇷 & Belgium🇧🇪

This video covers a bikepacking weekend cycling from Calais to Lille - no tents this time! First crossing the channel to Calais, overnighting in a cheap and cheerful hotel, eating too much food then riding to Lille via Belgium. Taking time to pay respects and remember the fallen in Dunkirk, Ypres and Tyne Cot cemetery amongst others and then head back towards Calais but not before riding the Roubaix velodrome! Interesting points on the route coupled with some historic facts.
