2012 FIM MOTOCAMP SUPERBLY HOSTED BY THE LOOISE MOTOCLUB OF BELGIUM IN THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE OF THE LIMBURG PROVINCE THE 2012 FIM MOTOCAMP WAS GREAT FUN FOR THE TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY RIDERS WHO MADE IT OUT OF THE TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY WHO HAD SUBSCRIBED. Heidi van Gelder from Looise MotoClub, organisers of the 2012 FIM Motocamp. /// That a few did not make it was no surprise to me. Riding out to Belgium I had one of the toughest rides I have experienced in forty four years in the saddle. Rain across the whole of northern Europe was as bad as it gets. Fortunately (in Limburg anyway) the day of the Parade of Nations was sunny and warm. Heidi van Gelder and Gerry Saenen the lead organisers from Looise MotoClub told me a little of their club’s history. They started out as a motocross club – no great surprise in Motocross mad Belgium – and added in touring later. Motocross has ended in their club but there are plans to revive it as a club activity which was good to hear.
