Engelanderholt dirt road descent / climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great descent when riding to the east (direction Beekbergen). At first this is a classic dirt road, sandy forest path. Soon after that tough it turns into hard0-pack gravel, connecting up to the Konijnenkamp Strade Bianche gravel road at the bottom.

When descending this one you'll have a couple of nice views over the valley in front of you.

Gravel and sand track at Radio Kootwijk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful gravel and dirt road at the back (east side) of Radio Kootwijk, with views over the local heathland and the Radio Kootwijk building itself. On the side of Radio Kootwijk the road is hardpack gravel, but a few bends further on there is little left of this and you roll over/through a hard dirt road that can sometimes be soft in places. A beautiful connecting road to the mountain bike route that runs along this road on the west side.
Perfect for MTB and gravel bikes.

Radio Kootwijk Transmitter

Highlight • Monument

Radio Kootwijk, a famous building in the middle of nowhere used to broadcast and telephone back and forth to former 'Nederlands Indie', Indonesia nowadays. The fields surrounding this building where littered with giant antennas. Now the building sits in peace in the fields only used for cultural events.

Social ride with Marleen. My first non-solo ride in 31 years..😁

Actually followed the ATB signs from the P just before Nieuw Milligenseweg 53. Exit 18 on the A1 at A'doorn.

Entire trip up and down the hill through the woods of the Veluwe.

'Old school' mtb route. But very enjoyable because of the nice weather, the extra km's and the challenging loose sand strips.

I can also cross this one off again, namely a round on the MTB with the knee version. OK was least fast lap ever according to Strava, but this one was just good. With 4 months after surgery Fredje can't complain and he just does 😉
