Details

A big ride for the real men and women with Panache in their legs. Full of bravado we drive from Eindhoven (departure at Cyklist) via the Belgian roads to the Ardennes. This big ride is named after the best type of Champagne, the "Brut". And that's what this one should be called;

We are going for 500km and 5000hm in 3 days!

Day 1: Departure Cyklist Eindhoven and luggage for 2 days in the follow car.
We have planned a lunch stop after about 100km. In the evening, dinner awaits us upon arrival in La Roche.

Day 2: On Saturday we will ride a very nice and challenging lap in the Belgian Ardennes, around Durbuy, La Roche and we will ride all the famous hills like the Redoute, col de Haussire etc.
Care on the way from our car and in the evening a cozy gathering with good food and tall stories

Day 3: On Sunday, after a hearty breakfast, we will ride back to the Netherlands, but not without tackling those last beautiful climbs in the Ardennes. The route goes east around Liege and via Maastricht (lunch stop) we continue our way back to the Cyklist.

Arrived in Eindhoven, a warm welcome awaits us there with the not-to-be-missed beer and bitterballen 😉 .

Location: La Roche-en-Ardenne, Panache (Belgium)

Explanation gravity level

We roughly determine the heaviness of a trip based on a variety of circumstances. Severity can be determined by distances or by the altitude meters in distances. In addition, you experience a ride on a gravel or mountain bike already 'heavier' than a road bike ride.

Per category this is approximately what you can think of. Always discuss with us alternatives or modified routes which also influence the heaviness.
