From Maastricht we will follow the Maas to beautiful Dinant. We will continue through the Maas valley until Charleville-Mézières which will probably be the last good place to eat something warm on the first day for most riders. From here the route goes through Verdun to Nancy where the rolling hills are somewhat like the ones in Paris-Brest-Paris. Further along the route lies Gondrexange. A good place to stock up on supplies, especially water, because from here you will ride along a canal for a long time where there's not a lot to find.
After Saarbrücken and Mehring we enter the Mosel valley with nice views and a lot of cafés and restaurants. In Koblenz, the Mosel and the Rhine meet. Soon after Koblenz we climb out of the Rhine valley. One more control left at the Peppenhoven 24 hour petrol station and from there the last 100 kilometre stretch back to the finish in Maastricht.
You will need proper lights and a hi-vis vest (mandatory in France at night). This is an unsupported brevet. You are responsible for your own sleeping arrangements and supplies.
