With in-laws living in the north of the country, every now and then the opportunity arises to combine the trip to the family with a gravel adventure through the Drenthe landscape. I have driven from Beilen to Veendam before, but with a view to the necessary training for the @True Grit Cycling Flatlands300

With Flatlands fast approaching (only 3 weeks away) I have to make a 100+ km ride every weekend. This time from home, and because the gravel tires were still mounted, I wanted to use the 100 km to try out some (for me) new unpaved parts. I did have doubts when I saw the weather forecast (rain coming

Over the past few years I have participated in @True Grit Cycling gravel tours several times with great pleasure, and although they were always good (I will definitely do more of them in the future), sometimes you want to try something different. That is why @Winfred and I settled in Bergen op Zoom last

The last days of the May holiday brought us to the Betuwe, to camping de Karekiet (Buren) to be precise. Beautiful surroundings, with picturesque towns and endless orchards, but when I went looking for a gravel route nearby I was quite disappointed: there is practically no gravel strip to be found here

Whenever I end up somewhere (for me) new in the Netherlands, and I have my gravel bike with me, I usually open the collections of @Gijs Bruinsma - routemeester first to see if he has ever built a nice circuit in the area. Because, without wanting to suck up to you, the circuits of @Gijs Bruinsma - routemeester

Earlier than expected, the opportunity presented itself to cycle a second route of Operation Pheasant (operatiefazant.nl), mapped out by @Bjornridesꓸcc. During the May holiday, I had gone out with the family in the camper, landed at camping Yuca (Berlicum), and that turned out to be only 1.5 km from

Grandiose? Epic? Legendary? What superlatives do you use to describe a route like this? Inspired by one of the Evergreens of @Gijs Bruinsma - routemeester, @Winfred and I set off from Baarlo towards the famous Meinweg for a fantastic gravel adventure. An Evergreen is what @Gijs Bruinsma - routemeester

It's always fun to get to know your own neighborhood better.
On a sunny, but cold, Sunday morning, I got on my gravel bike early to explore the Groene Hart further with @Winfred. First over (for me) familiar pieces of gravel near Zoetermeer, and then we continued towards Gouda. Tactfully weaving around

Some ideas come like pooping... My wife had to be in Bussum on Friday morning, and hey, why don't I take her? Gravel bike on the back, and let's see if we can make a nice trip there?
And what a nice trip it was! I wanted a route of about 60 km, and found it quite easily via @Gijs Bruinsma - routemeester

Last real training for Flatlands300! A weekend away with friends at camping de Geelenhoof gave the perfect opportunity to plan a long ride towards De Meinweg. The nature reserve where I have been twice in the past year, and I therefore knew that it is good for gravel riding.
But let me just add a little
