SeaMeCycle 2 - A Ride to Remember

SeaMeCycle 2: Riding for Remembrance through Northern France and West Flanders

Five hundred kilometers, 2 countries in 7 days with 8 people. That is the plan for the SeaMeCycle 2 tour.

Howest journalism interns, staff and supporters from 2Seas Interreg projects SeaMedia and Bike Friendly Cities start the remembrance ride on Tuesday the 10th of June at Le Grand Mix in Tourcoing, France at 13:30*.

With stops in Fiefs, Neufchatel-Hardelot, Boulogne sur Mer, Wimereux and Dunkirk, France as well as Merkem, Kemmel and Kortrijk, Belgium, the SeaMeCycle 8 invites everyone to join the tour at any point along the way.

Like the first SeaMeCycle tour in October 2013, part 2 aims to raise awareness that people can travel by bike cheaply and healthily from city to city and country to country, enjoying the ride with friends, colleagues and cyclists of all levels, connecting with the forces of nature and learning about the regions they pass through. SeaMeCycle 2 also puts the focus on remembering and observing history by reflecting on WWI along the way.

While on route, the SeaMeCycle 8 will capture stories from the road via video, photo and audio reports that will draw attention to cycling and remembrance tourism. The tour will include stops at the Bike Friendly Cities conference in Boulogne sur Mer on the 12th of June, where the SeameCycle team will present videos made during their previous tour. Familiar faces from the first tour will join them the following night at the Leffrinckoucke bunkers in Dunkirk for an audio-visual evening of video-mapping. After that, they will spend 2 days exploring many WWI-related places in West Flanders, including the Peace Tower in Diksmuide, Messines Peace Village and the Menen Gate in Ieper for the nightly Last Post ceremony.
