<p>I'm going to Belgium for the first time this winter; with my own season over I plan to drink beer and watch some of the pro races there.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'll travel with just a backpack I can store, and not have a car. Getting to Koksijde for the World Championship races looks simple enough. I don't know anything about the venues for some of the other races I hope to attend, besides what cities they're close to.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Do any of you have advice for getting to any of the following--from the nearest rail station or city center? I would think some of the local fans use transit to reach them too.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Kasteelcross in Zonnebeke (Ieper)</p>
<p>World Cup in Hoogerheide, NL</p>
<p>Parkcross in Maldegem</p>
<p></p>
<p>Consecutive days outside of Antwerp:</p>
<p>Krawatencross in Lille</p>
<p>Superprestige in Hoogstraten</p>
<p></p>
<p>I appreciate any suggestions those of you who have been there can give.</p>

Hey,<br />
<br />
We've been seeing a lot of posts about peeps traveling to races.. that's awesome. I bet there's a lot of untapped generous goodwill out there that would be willing to help house other racers.

so, while you should be careful and figure out if a person is trust worthy, why not extend the spirit of 'cross and help each other out. we've added "race housing" to the classifieds category in the forum. but you can post your housing need or offer here in this thread.
