January 27, 2024,De 240-bochten-gravelroute in het Kroondomein 👑 ☀️🌲🌳💯

Beautiful varied ride on the gravel and sand paths of the Kroondomein near Apeldoorn. Not a route for thru-drivers, because there is a lot of twisting and turning and the surfaces are not all 'smooth gravel'. Slightly wider straps are recommended.
