Harry Slinger is a downhill section of the Amerongen MTB route. Half a kilometer down. The end leads along heathland that turns purple in the high summer months.

Kick yourself a bit before you arrive at the parking lot along the Bergweg on the Amerongse Berg. The climb is not steep, but it is long ... Note: vignette required.

Two trail circuits combined. The green and the red. Everything is well laid out and signposted. Almost 49km of trails in one go. Brilliant!

Today it was time to have a blast again (no, not with fireworks, that can wait a little longer) but through the forest near Leersum and Amerongse Berg. Well we knew that too. What a beautiful area, but fortunately it also goes up and down again. We saw a total of six climbs on the Hammerhead. So another great MTB …

Wonderful ride the combination of 2 routes with the same starting point at the Bergweg. Although here and there still some mullet due to the drought, still doing fine.

High and almost dry together with Wouter, there were some diversions due to construction work and on the Leersum route due to large half-frozen puddles. Everything else looked quite nice with only water in the drainage holes, nice with a layer of ice on top or different layers that indicate the falling water level, beautiful!
