Nice route always up and down, lots of switching and steering. Other than that not really difficult.

Nature of the route

It is a tough course with many climbs, turns, scrambling, twisting and descending. There is not a ten meter flat terrain in between. The Ravijntjes are especially challenging.

In one tour go......Beautiful!!!

Instead, there were endless curves and berms.
But, as is the case in the flatlands, no fun without pedaling.
Here it's:

Turbo in and off we go.

Surprisingly little to no sand. But pedal until the doctor comes. Always in the forest and with a nice cool breeze. …

If you are okay with getting wet and dirty, the weather does not matter much. In addition, this route is worth it because every time you make a climb you also …
