We Support ‘Plan Boommarter’
We donate € 1 per registered rider to ‘Plan Boommarter’/’Plan Pine Marten’.
‘Plan Pine Marten’ is the collaboration for more nature around the Hallerbos, Lembeekbos and other forests and nature reserves south of Halle. We connect nature with nature, and people with nature. We hope to welcome pine martens again to Halle.
If we collect enough, we might get our own ‘LAM-forest’ somewhere around Halle.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
What if the weather is bad?
‘There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.’ But we all agree, if things get dangerously bad/risky it’s possible we cancel/postpone an event.
Are the LAM-events ‘races’?
NO, they are not! See them as personal adventures. Maybe it’s your first long-distance so surviving is already an accomplishment? Or are you looking to finetune your long-distance skills?
What about ‘support’?
The LAM-events are built from the perspective of being & staying unsupported. Embrace the challenge of looking after yourself, plan your stops wisely or just look forward to a LAM-organized food-stop.
How do we register as a duo or group?
No problem if you want to ride with a friend or a in a group but each rider has to register individually for 1 or more distances.
Road & Gravel, tire recommentations?
The LAM routes are a mix of road, (light) gravel, cobblestones and asphalt.
A wider tire offers more comfort. Tires under 35 mm are not recommended. Recon-rides are done with 40mm.
Keep in mind that max. 20% of the route is not-road.
What if I have a flat tyre, have shifting issues,… while riding a LAM-event?
Make sure you are able to solve/overcome possible mechanical issues. The LAM-organisation has no ‘pick-up-service’. Make sure to bring a suitable repair kit with you.
