MyWhoosh has welcomed Belgium to its universe of virtual cycling worlds. Belgium joins Arabia, Australia, Colombia, and Alula as the fifth MyWhoosh world, marking the platform’s first expansion into Europe and bringing its total route distance to 1159.5 km.
A release from MyWhoosh added that… ‘Known to many as a cycling haven, Belgium plays host to some of the most exciting, challenging, and picturesque routes across the globe. Now, MyWhoosh users can experience the rich cycling heritage of the region from the comfort of their own homes, with immersive graphics enabling a hyper-realistic indoor ride.’
