Gravel is enorm populair, maar wat is gravel eigenlijk? Waar begint gravel? En vanaf wanneer mag je iets geen gravel meer noemen?
In opdracht van Schwalbe trek ik er samen met Douwe op uit om de essentie van gravel in onze Lage Landen te duiden. Van strak en snel naar…

In July, I cycled ALL five Dutch Wadden Islands together with @Douwe Doorduin, and that without using the mainland. Afterwards, we collected all our knowledge and skills in a practical Wadden hop guide, film and of course Komoot collection.
To kick off the launch of the project, we gathered with a group

The last day of our Wadden hopping trip starts at sea. We slept on the sailing ship Willem Jacob when it was anchored off the coast of Schiermonnikoog. After a delicious breakfast on the ship, we sail towards the harbour of the last island.
From the harbour, we cycle via an impressive bunker on the highest

During our sailing trip with the Willem Jacob from Ameland to Schiermonnikoog we leave as usual at high tide. We already know that we will not be able to complete the trip in one go without ending up in low tide. Because there are no deep channels in the Wadden Sea between Ameland and Schiermonnikoog

From the glamping on Ameland it is only a three kilometre bike ride to the sailing harbour at the pier of Nes. There we board the sailing ship Willem Jacob for the second time, which will sail us to Schiermonnikoog in about twelve hours.
The fact that the crossing takes so long means that we will not

We arrived on Ameland with the sailing ship Willem Jacob and will continue our journey in that way. In between the two crossings we have a rest day on Ameland which we use to cycle around and explore the island. After two previous nights of camping we now choose to spend two nights on Ameland at the

The second part of our journey across Terschelling starts at the nature camping site where we spent the night. Around the corner we eat a delicious breakfast at a bakery, after which we set course for the sailing harbour of West-Terschelling.
Because we don't have to cycle far today, we take our time

We wake up at the nature camping site De Lange Paal on Vlieland and don't take the Wadden taxi to Terschelling until three o'clock. This gives us time to have a leisurely breakfast in Oost-Vlieland and then explore the rest of Vlieland.
Because the island is small, we have plenty of time to stop at the

Our Waddenhop trip starts in Den Helder, where we take the ferry to Texel. A short crossing later we are soon cycling on the local MTB route, which looks more like a randomly marked out bumpy grass path. Nevertheless, it is fun cycling and the route, alternating with sections of asphalt, becomes more

I think this is the nicest route you can take to the VAM mountain from Groningen without having to cycle 140+ kilometers.
Beautiful day to experience this adventure. Credits for the route go to Steven Willemsen.

Nice weather for a tour of the Crown Domains. We had worse weather in October, but it was still beautiful (although a set of brake pads was worn out in the rain 😉)

One of the most bizarre experiences of my career. The Turbo cross in Diegem! Originated from the mind of Avarage Rob,
20 guests, 2 rounds, full house!

Gravel is enormously popular, but what actually is gravel? Where does gravel begin? And from when on can you no longer call something gravel?
On behalf of Schwalbe, I'm heading out with Douwe to explain the essence of gravel in our Low Countries. From tight and fast to rough and playful.
