Intense in many ways. Beautiful, warm, intense. In that respect, 2023 can hardly surpass that, or can it? Let\u2019s take you on a quick tour through 2022, with some highlights and beautiful articles we were able to create. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">January <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although we like to and often cycle, January was also a month of starting over for us. Not surprisingly, but we were able to get started quickly and build a nice <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/micro-adventure\/cycling-on-the-posbank-micro-adventure\/\">doing a micro-adventure on the Posbank<\/a>.

Given the above, we would like to say something different. However, we took advantage of March to create a beautiful series of articles and trips. We set out on a beautiful tour <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/graveling-over-the-crown-domain-shimano-grx-series\/\">grinding over the crown domain<\/a> to test the GRX group from Shimano. <\/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 decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"5631\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_1092-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"2022 in a nutshell\" class=\"wp-image-5631\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">March became even more beautiful because during our <a href=\"\/en\/stories\/belgium\/diary-vlaanderen-pro-for-a-weekend\/\">Pro for a weekend trip to Flanders<\/a> We were spoiled with beautiful weather, beautiful routes and a great atmosphere. When you are in the heart of the race, on sacred ground, then the sky suddenly feels close. Especially with a stay in the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/cycling-destination-approved\/flandrien-hotel-cycling-destination-approved-2\/\">Flandrien Hotel<\/a>. This weekend was rightly Cycling Destination Approved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"5747\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/PFAW_2022_033-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"the gravel roads, Flanders, cycling, cycling\" class=\"wp-image-5747\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">April<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The saying \u2018April does what it wants\u2019 could no longer apply to us. <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-the-wadden-region-from-churches-to-arable-fields\/\">Beautiful days in the Wadden region<\/a>. It started off cold and windy, with temperatures below zero and a howling wind. What helped us through it? The warm welcome, the beautiful conversations and the vast landscape. We found beauty where others saw abandonment. We were (literally) shaken and one thing is certain. It <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/netherlands\/wadden-cuisine-in-a-day\/\">Wadden area<\/a> keeps calling us every day, even just for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"5950\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/CD_03042022_06-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"cycling, cycling, gravel, bike, Groningen, photo\" class=\"wp-image-5950\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"5935\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_2356-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"2022 in a bird&#039;s-eye view, photo 2\" class=\"wp-image-5935\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also took advantage of King's Day to make a nice nod to destinations you should visit sometime. Because if you look carefully, there is a beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/regal-destinations-for-royal-day\/\">Number of links with \u2018the king\u2019<\/a> And then we haven\u2019t even mentioned the royal ski resort of Lech am Arlberg yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">May<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where we were a bit lost in April, May gave us a crazy kick. When do you start with four different explorers in places all over Europe? We started with the men from the Pedaleurs, who took us to places like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Utrechtse Heuvelrug. <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/cycling-to-denmark-wanderlust-hygge\/\">puberale joke<\/a> Becoming reality. Gravelen went to Denmark, through Germany. Meanwhile, Sander went into the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/denmark\/cycling-in-denmark-in-the-wake-of-the-tour-start\/\">Track of the Tour<\/a> looking for the most beautiful places in Denmark. Ruben devoted himself to <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/winter-destination-tenerife-more-than-el-teide\/\">The pleasures of Tenerife<\/a>, Not by chance, one of our partners. Later that month, we were invited by our partner to attend the event. <a href=\"https:\/\/cutt.ly\/n2Byc2N\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Etxeondo<\/a> heading towards the Basque Country. For many, a dream that came true. Meanwhile, explorer Nynke wasn\u2019t sitting still either and delighted us with several beautiful gravel stories in her own country: the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/netherlands\/graveling-like-a-queen\/\">Utrecht's Heuvelrug<\/a> no longer has any secrets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6762\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/P1001000-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"2022 in a bird&#039;s-eye view, photo 3\" class=\"wp-image-6762\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"6681\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/646ACFF8-756F-46EE-9E86-1AE41547DF82_1_105_c-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"stage, content creation, cyclingdestination\" class=\"wp-image-6681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/646ACFF8-756F-46EE-9E86-1AE41547DF82_1_105_c-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/646ACFF8-756F-46EE-9E86-1AE41547DF82_1_105_c-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/646ACFF8-756F-46EE-9E86-1AE41547DF82_1_105_c-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/646ACFF8-756F-46EE-9E86-1AE41547DF82_1_105_c.jpeg 1086w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6621\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/560456F5-6A65-406F-89BA-1EE9E031E92F_1_201_a-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"2022 in flight, photo 4\" class=\"wp-image-6621\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6531\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/A7R4568-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"cycling, cycling, roskilde, Denmark, Denmark\" class=\"wp-image-6531\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6289\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2180-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"gravel biking, gravel bike\" class=\"wp-image-6289\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">June<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The month of June also brought plenty of adventure. We started the month with a <a href=\"\/en\/stories\/gravel-route-in-gelderland-strade-bianche-achterhoek\/\">Beautiful gravel round in the Achterhoek<\/a>, including a minor crash. At least it wasn't on the CUBE mountain bike. It couldn't be because a week later we rode in the electric bus towards Switzerland. With a <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/en-route-to-crans-montana-load-n-ride\/\">load \u2019n ride stop in Baden-Baden<\/a> (tip!) and some wonderful days in Valais.

The best-kept secret of Switzerland. After the Swiss hills, the Greek routes around Kastoria followed. The north of this holiday country is <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-northern-greece-from-florina-to-nimfeio\/\">Absolutely brilliant<\/a>. Highly recommended and, as we hear, there will be a nice cycling event there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7372\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5736-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"cycling, cycling in the valais, cycling in the dents du midi region, cycling in switzerland, ruben highlands, switzerland, cycling switzerland\" class=\"wp-image-7372\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Region Dents du Midi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7241\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSCF6482-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The beautiful dam at Crans-Montana and Anz\u00e9re\" class=\"wp-image-7241\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The beautiful dam at Crans-Montana and Anz\u00e9re<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7080\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5093-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"ruurlo, castle, gravel, cycling, shimano, cycle, bike, gravel bike\" class=\"wp-image-7080\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gravel in the Achterhoek<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7528\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC02037-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Biking in Greece, biking in North Macedonia, biking in Macedonia, biking in Greece, Prespa Lake, Prespa, Prespes, Greece, biking, biking vacation\" class=\"wp-image-7528\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Northern Greece is fantastic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Nynke set off to Brabant to find even more beautiful routes.
