On one of the longest Sundays of the year we go ultra gravel from Merksplas through ancient Taxandria. PlugPlug offers you routes of 100 kilometers, 100 miles or the ultra challenging 200 miles (322km). This is fully supported by supplies and mechanical breakdown assistance and starts at sunrise.
The name Taxandria dates from Roman times and indicates an area that roughly corresponds to the Kempen region. On either side of the Belgian-Dutch border, this is a gravel paradise.
On Saturday 28th in the afternoon a Gravel Expo( bikes, workshops, social rides, testgrid,...) is organised on the same location. You can already pick up your starting ticket for the next day.
I love cycling, but bergs & cobbles are not my cup of tea.
