But with some good tips, you will succeed! In this blog, our explorer Nynke gives you some tips for first-time mountain cycling. She tells how she prepared for a trip to the high mountains in northern Italy. If you then go for the mountains, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/fietsen-in-de-dolomieten\/\">Dolomites<\/a> also right into the real thing. These are the most important tips if you are going cycling in the mountains for the first time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"22572\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SierraNevada-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Sierra Nevada, Mountains\" class=\"wp-image-22572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SierraNevada-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SierraNevada-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SierraNevada-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SierraNevada-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SierraNevada-3-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/SierraNevada-3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nynke in the Sierra Nevada (c) Sander Kolsloot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Text and photos: Nynke Cuperus<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is mid-May when I am asked if I would like to be a week-long cycling guide for a group of enthusiastic singles in the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-the-majestic-dolomites\/\">Dolomites<\/a>. Of course, I don't have to think twice about that! Enthusiastically, I say yes. But it has been quite a while since I cycled in the mountains, so good preparation is welcome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, I will have a number of rides of around 100 kilometres in my legs, as I will be taking part in the 235-kilometre Cycle City Tour. In addition, the 115-kilometre Tour version of the Vuelta is scheduled for mid-August. So kilometres I do well, but to train altitude metres I have to put in a bit more effort. About the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/hell-of-22-the-cycle-circumnavigation-in-all-weathers\/\">2022 Elfstedentocht<\/a> and the hell that was, you can read more here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"8650\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"ardennes, cycling, cycling in the ardennes, nynke cuperus\" class=\"wp-image-8650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I make altimeters in and around the Netherlands?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limburg and the Voer region<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is wise to make some altitude metres in the Netherlands before cycling. Then you will learn to cycle against a slope, which is slightly different from going over the dyke. If you want to make some altitude metres to prepare for a cycling trip in the mountains, you quickly think of Limburg. I too like to spend a day cycling the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-limburg-starts-on-the-cauberg\/\">Cauberg<\/a> and other hills of our Dutch 'high mountains'. If only because cycling and vlaai go very well together... \ud83d\ude09 Want to ride over calmer climbs? Then peak across the border to the Voer region. The climb to Les Waides is one to challenge you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But besides Limburg, there are more options in the Netherlands' immediate surroundings. How about a weekend of cycling in the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/shimano-ultegra-series-ardennes\/\">Ardennes<\/a>? Around La-Roche en Ardenne you will find quite steep climbs, of up to 23% at times! This village is also home to the Col de <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/belgium-destinations\/cycling-in-the-belgian-ardennes\/\">Haussire<\/a>, Belgium's toughest climb, whose summit is at 498 metres. I can tell you that it is quite tough! Also in the German <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-the-eifel-a-great-alternative\/\">Eifel<\/a> you'll find lots of climbs, just like in the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-germany-teutoburg-forest\/\">Teutoburgerwald<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"8649\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"col de haussire, Ardennes, cycling in the ardennes, making altitude metres, altitude metres belgium, altitude metres the Netherlands, \" class=\"wp-image-8649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen3-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ardennen3-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nynke by the top of the Col de Haussire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Climbing in (Northern) Netherlands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you are from the north, you can fill up your calves and practise descending with confidence. For example, I went for a day to the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/col-du-vam-the-only-real-mountain-in-drenthe\/\">Col du VAM<\/a>, a climb on a former waste dump near Hoogeveen. This has also recently been upgraded with '<a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/roof-of-drenthe-literally-upgrades-vam-berg\/\">the roof of Drenthe<\/a>' there. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/gravelen-in-the-achterhoek-the-hit-of-2022\/\">Achterhoek<\/a> you can go wild in Montferland. In this area located between Doetinchem and the German border, you will find several hills between 67 and 92 metres above sea level. A well-known spot in the middle of the country is the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/netherlands\/on-the-trail-of-la-vuelta-holanda\/\">Amerongse Berg<\/a>. Professional cyclists competing in the Vuelta in mid-August could even grab a mountain jersey on this 69-metre-high hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alternative, of course, is South Limburg. The <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-limburg-starts-on-the-cauberg\/\">Cauberg and surroundings<\/a> are then perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"8651\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vam-berg-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"VAM-Berg, Drenthe\" class=\"wp-image-8651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vam-berg-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vam-berg-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vam-berg-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vam-berg-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vam-berg-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">VAM Mountain in Drenthe is perfect for practising short climbs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"17397\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LandalGreenParksCauberg-45-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"South Limburg climbing\" class=\"wp-image-17397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LandalGreenParksCauberg-45-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LandalGreenParksCauberg-45-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LandalGreenParksCauberg-45-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LandalGreenParksCauberg-45-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/LandalGreenParksCauberg-45.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In South Limburg, of course, you can also get away well<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" data-id=\"1245\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fietsers-wandelaars-en-ATB-ers-rijden-naar-de-top-van-de-VAM-berg-Rechten-RTV-Drenthe-Andries-Ophof.jpg\" alt=\"VAM Mountain\" class=\"wp-image-1245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fietsers-wandelaars-en-ATB-ers-rijden-naar-de-top-van-de-VAM-berg-Rechten-RTV-Drenthe-Andries-Ophof.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fietsers-wandelaars-en-ATB-ers-rijden-naar-de-top-van-de-VAM-berg-Rechten-RTV-Drenthe-Andries-Ophof-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fietsers-wandelaars-en-ATB-ers-rijden-naar-de-top-van-de-VAM-berg-Rechten-RTV-Drenthe-Andries-Ophof-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mount VAM also now has an additional 'roof' at 63m height<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I get strong enough to cycle in the mountains?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides cycling, there are other ways to prepare for cycling in the mountains. For example, in the weeks leading up to my trip to Molveno, I started running more. That way, my fitness would improve quickly without spending hours training. During the year I already run more often, now I try to run at least once or twice a week and build up the number of kilometres from 7 to 11. Have you never run before? Then start slowly to avoid injuries, there are many running <a href=\"https:\/\/www.runnersworld.com\/nl\/training\/trainingsschema\/a24204343\/trainingsschema-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">beginner's schedule to be found<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strength training and more<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To get strong legs, I do strength training once a week. My workouts include leg press, calf raises, lunges and the crab walk. You can also take spinning classes in addition, but I am less of a fan of those myself. Another way to get fit is to challenge yourself on the bike by cycling with people who are faster than you. For instance, I regularly go cycling with the men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should I start training when cycling in the mountains for the first time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How many months in advance to train for a cycling holiday in the mountains is different for everyone. In fact, to determine your preparation time and training intensity, you have to take several factors into account. For example, how is your <em>basic condition<\/em>? Do you cycle a lot or little? And what is your goal during your cycling holiday? But also: how often will you cycle during your holiday? Will you make a few hundred altimeters during a ride or do you expect to make thousands of altimeters? How long and steep are the rides? And how fast do you want to cycle? In short, plenty to think about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.knwu.nl\/fondo\">Fondo<\/a>, the training app of the KNWU, or <a href=\"http:\/\/join.cc\">Join<\/a> can help you with a training schedule. I myself did not follow a schedule, but mostly followed my own gut and did what I could. That way, I was well prepared to go cycling in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resting and checking equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to great training, good preparation also lies in checking your equipment. For example, do you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/material\/gear-shifting-and-gear-groups-explained\/\">mountain gear<\/a> on your bike? Are your brakes still working properly? And how are your tyres and chain doing? It is certainly not an unnecessary luxury to have your bike checked by someone who knows about it. Also check our <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/tips\/basic-packing-list-for-your-cycling-holiday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">basic packing list<\/a>, then you know you're always in the right place when you set off on cycling holidays to the mountains<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are you and your bike all set to go on holiday? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there is only one thing left to do: rest. Training like crazy the week before your cycling holiday is counterproductive. So stick to walking or a yoga class and get plenty of sleep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy cycling holidays and have fun when you go cycling in the mountains!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Je voorbereiden op je eerste keer wielrennen in de bergen kan lastig zijn in ons vlakke landje.
