    Take up the challenge

For those who love pace, open tracks and that fast-riding feeling.

A route designed with safety and enjoyment in mind: wide gravel paths, gentle gradients, and a fast-rolling profile that invites you to push the pedals. A few wind-exposed sections add some spice to the ride, without ever crossing into technical terrain.

Perfect for riders looking to push hard, test themselves, and enjoy 100 km of full-on gravel fun.
