BiciSport @ Fleche Wallonne @ Mur de Huy Cycling Cafe @ 18 Apr - wherever there is a Belgian cycling classic these days up springs the latest cycling themed coffee shop + mini clothing store.
The Mur de Huy cycle cafe offering rated well with good coffee & excellent food. The town of Huy offered everything from graphic World War 2 atrocities against the local Belgian population in the Citadel, to its own nuclear power station (… must have one of those in your suburb …), then plenty of heavy traffic on clogged narrow roads. This is compensated by quiet and very welcome canal cycle paths, good cafes & challenging local climbs. However, its one of those towns best described as … if it wasn’t for a professional Classic cycle race then you may not go there.
