Start your Ride with a Warm-up Round<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite the unpredictable weather, we start our cycling weekend with a 36-kilometer warm-up round. Starting from Landal Veluwemeer, near Biddinghuizen, our route leads through the \u2018interior\u2019 of Flevoland. After an unexpectedly beautiful journey through wooded areas and over tightly-graded gravel paths, we continue along scenic views of water to return to the park. The course promises wide roads along meadows and dykes \u2013 a true Flevoland landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycling in Flevoland: Explore the Province's Surroundings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, an ambitious route is on the program: exploring the entire circumference of Flevoland in 146 kilometers. That\u2019s quite a challenge, with the beautiful bike paths along the edge of the province. However, the weather has other plans, so we choose a shorter route along the well-known Oostvaarders Plassen. This route offers vast meadows and natural areas where you\u2019ll come face-to-face with the wild animals roaming free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meetings and Discoveries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During our ride, we meet a stranded cyclist who has to continue his journey to Amsterdam. With a helping hand (and a spare tire), we help him out of the trouble. For \u20ac10, he gets the tire. That\u2019s cheaper than the UBER he wanted to call. Shortly after, we enjoy a well-deserved coffee break at the visitor center of the Oostvaarders Plassen. We spent that ten euro anyway. Our tip: Plan your coffee stops carefully, because in Flevoland there are fewer cafes than you normally expect on a cycling route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Day: From Veluwemeer to Veluwe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The last day takes us from the park to Harderwijk and we quickly cross over to the Veluwe. We enjoy the wooded surroundings and heather fields and make a stop in Vierhouten. These varied routes offer both beautiful roads for the hard-riders and quiet paths for those who prefer to cycle at their own pace. In our opinion, that\u2019s what we enjoy anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
