Alpe d'Huez on the gravel bike!
Every cyclist knows the climb with twenty-one hairpin bends to Alpe d´Huez. Some have already climbed it once (or more) on a cycling trip or for charity during the Alpe d'HuZes. Others undoubtedly know the climb from the stories of others or from the finish of the Tour de France Femmes last [...].
Paris-Roubaix of the Zeeland Country - gravel route in Zeeland Flanders
Vast arable land. Sometimes gently sloping. Peasant streets, cobbled or not. Paris-Roubaix captures the imagination of many cycling fans. The 'hell of the north', as this race is affectionately called, is not for everyone. Still, people like to refer to this race. The common denominator in these references? Cobbled sections. Because that characterises the 260 [...]
Graveling in Geoparque de Granada - beautiful beyond imagination
The camper's door slides open. Two sleepy heads look around the corner of the door. On a stray Wednesday in May, these camper fans do not expect gravelly people.

A salty gravel adventure - West Zeeuws-Vlaanderen
A vast expanse lies before us. As we make long hauls along a crackling gravel path, a light breeze blows in our faces. The sun is showing itself on this spring day. This is Zeeuws-Vlaanderen at its very best. West Zeeuws-Vlaanderen to be precise. A piece of the Netherlands with its very own identity. This is where Zeeland and Flanders [...]
Crans-Montana is an off-road cycling paradise
Since the first time I visited Crans-Montana, on a press trip in 2021, I have been a fan of this crazy destination. The Valais-Wallis canton is home to many beautiful passes, reservoirs and other climbs and routes where you can get lost to your heart's content. Proverbially then, because really getting lost is not the intention. Thereby, many roads are a [...]
Gravel Veneto: gravel in the land of Venice
The C-word, which we never really want to talk about again and which we suffered so much in 2020 and 2021 also brings us great things! A group of road cyclists near Treviso decided to do things completely differently during this period. The world was on its [...] anyway.
The Gooi's Most Beautiful Gravel Route? WTSHNN makes a stab at it
A nice wood fire brings much-needed warmth on a cool Saturday morning. Little plumes of warm breath slowly rise. Happy greetings and admiring glances at beautiful bikes. As an outsider, you wouldn't quite know what is about to happen on this morning in December. A group of cycling ladies greet each other and have just finished signing up [...]
Gravel routes in Baden-Württemberg: a new gravel paradise
Cycling and gravel biking in Germany has been very popular for years. Not only because of the events in the Eifel (Grinduro, LtD Gravelraid), but also the beautiful routes in Nationalpark Harz or in former East Germany. In short, graveling with the eastern neighbours is a must. The region of Baden-Württemberg is also doing its bit. Known for the Black [...]
