Mapped out by the Bicyclic team, the event&#8217;s main partner and a keen connoisseur of the local terrain, the MTB routes combine the pleasure of riding, beautiful scenery and accessibility, whatever the participants&#8217; level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>New in 2026: the family ride<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">For families, a 10 km ride along the region&#8217;s RAVeL greenways will allow everyone to make the most of the day, on a regular bike, mountain bike or e-bike, and free of charge for children under 12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">From gravel tracks to forest trails, from long timed distances to a relaxed ride, the event comes in several formats so that every level and every preference can find their place on the routes of the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Another highlight of the day: the Bicyclic stand.
