Dear Friend,
Like every year we are organising the 500 miles. For those who don't know what it is, here is a short description:
500 miles information:
A Hell of a day in paradise. This is the statement of one of the participants of the 500 miles. ADPC received a lot of great comments last year. With the great comments we want to continue.
The third edition of the 500 miles is planned on 23 and 24 October 2004
What is the 500 miles, for those who haven't heard of it:
What in the beginning started as a somewhat strange thought from our Chief Road Captain "Berre" became reality in no time ! It only took a few days to realize that the idea of crossing Belgium over a distance of approx. 805 Km (500 miles) in maximum 24 hours is a challenge, but feasible. The first 500 miles endurance rally was born. The reward? A silver pin, specially designed for this event. However, only those participants completing the tour and arriving back in Ekeren (Antwerp) in due time will obtain this nice remembrance. What is the challenge about ? Guided with a road book, the participants (in group or individually) will drive through Belgium from North to East, from South to West and back North. (please remember to bring the Belgium roadmap). A total of 15 checkpoints will have to be searched for. (at each checkpoint, the participant will receive the address of the next checkpoint). We have, as much as possible, selected good roads, most of the time (but not always) illuminated. Gas stations are indicated in the road book.
