A guest story by Wim – loyal travel companion, off‑road expert, and now: self‑appointed solo adventure rider.

On an Adventure Along the TET – Part 1: From Belgium to the Pyrenees

Guest story by Wim – loyal travel companion and off-road expert

At KGL Racing, it’s not just about parts and performance, but also the passion for adventure. And when you say adventure, you say Wim. For years, we’ve explored the world together on two wheels. This time, he set off solo along the legendary TET route (Trans Euro Trail), crossing France to the Pyrenees and into the rugged Bardenas Reales. His bike? Rock solid, kitted out with a series of KGL accessories that took the journey in stride.

Here’s the first part of his travel story – honest, gritty, and unmistakably Wim.

Preparation

After weeks of wrenching, planning and dreaming, the moment is finally here. The bike is ready – not for just a little ride, but for a rugged trip through France, over the Pyrenees and into the wild landscape of Bardenas Reales.

The prep? No small feat:

  • Brand-new tyres fitted – grip guaranteed.

  • Softbags strapped down tight, with heat shields against those boiling exhausts.

  • Off-road windscreen installed – ready to face wind and dust.

  • Hours spent puzzling over Garmin Basecamp to find a perfect mix of gravel, mountain passes and forgotten roads.

  • Carefully selected gear: from tools to tent, from water filter to warm sweater.

Everything’s packed. Everything checks out. Time to leave the tarmac behind and ride into the unknown.
