Cycling More. Everywhere<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Cycling Destination is an independent platform for road cyclists and gravel riders who want to go beyond their usual route.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Who I am<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

My name is Sander Kolsloot, founder and editor-in-chief of Cycling Destination.
One thing I know for sure: I\u2019m crazy about cycling. I love riding my bike around, whether it\u2019s a race bike or a gravel bike, preferably in places I\u2019ve never been before.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

I started Cycling Destination with one goal: to inspire people to cycle more. Anywhere, anytime. A ride through your own province, a long weekend in the Ardennes, or your first big climb in the Alps. Along the way, I discovered that there is so much more than Cauberg, Alpe d'Huez, and Mont Ventoux.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What I find important? A good route, a nice place to sleep and an honest story from someone who really was there. You often don\u2019t need more than that to go. That\u2019s what we create here together.

Would you like to join? Share your routes via the route page or send me a message!<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
