July 5, 2025,Mountainbiketocht Brunssummerheide + Roode beek

Very nice route. Lots of up and down with nice single tracks and natural obstacles (tree roots, stones, loose sand, ...).
I had ridden them before, but then with far too much mud. Today it was actually too dry, which sometimes made it very loose. I prefer that 10 times over the mud.
Around the adventure park (Roode Beek route) …

With the best sunshine and a pleasant 18°C we went to the Brunssummer Heide today. Tanja went hiking again while I looked at the two routes. What mega trails are these? Absolutely brilliant descents, lots of small drops, very technical and steep climbs. The best route in the Netherlands so far, even Groesbeek can't compete 😅
But definitely more difficult …

I don't think it is possible to go faster in this single track stint.. 😂

Almost the entire tour on trails, not without driving technique in places.

Super mega tour, small but nice.
A constant up and down. Some of the descents are bike park level! At the end you can enjoy a cold drink in the alpine hut.

Black 🤔
Well, yes, for the Netherlands it's definitely black 🙈😂

After 22 km there was a very brilliant descent 🤘
No, there were also a few nice trails and descents in between. Most of it can be flowy and is absolutely suitable for beginners.
And it's great that something is offered here for mountain bikers... Many municipalities could learn …
