Hello,
I am taking my future wife to the 2014 Belgium Grand Prix for our honeymoon. I have a hotel away from it all so she can relax. I am looking at taking bikes on my car and then parking up close-ish to the track. I had read that this is fairly common and you can cycle down an old railway track. But I am unable to find that post again. Does anyone have any experience in this or could possibly help?
Thanks
Mark
Hi Mark,
Firstly, congratulations on your impending marriage! I did the same a few months ago, though no matter how hard I begged I wasn’t allowed anywhere near a Grand Prix for our honeymoon!
I went to Spa last year and camped at L’Eau Rouge (next to the river which gives the corner it’s name!). We rode bikes from there to the circuit every day. So while I can’t give any pointers on where to park your car etc, I can certainly tell you that you’ll be able to lock your bikes up within about 10 metres of any entrance to the circuit.
Depending on the route you take as well, it’s reasonably flat, but I’d recommend sturdy shoes once you’re inside as it’s remarkably hilly.
You’ll have a great time – I’m very jealous (though I’m off to Monza this time next month!)
Enjoy newly-weds!
Hi Mark,
Maybe the thing you are searching for is the ‘Ravel’ network:
