Event Details

Date: Saturday 4/5/2019

Start/Finish: Cafe Barzoen, Warandestraat 42 , B2300 Turnhout
www.barzoen.cafe
They always have a nice selection of food on the menu, serve a very good cup of fairtrade coffee and have cold beers on tap. Everything you need to fuel up before, and refuel after the ride.

Routes:
All our routes are very dirt road heavy, showing you the fens, forests, fields and heather plains of De Kempen. All routes will be made available as a GPS track (they will not be marked).
200km: Our masterpiece. By popular demand we are offering a 200km loop. This will show you De Kempen from north to east to south (maybe some day we will include the west and make a 200mile/320km loop...).
150km: Based on last years 160km classic with some changes to keep it fresh.
105km: Compared to the 2018 loop we have cut out a lot of the paved sections from first quarter of the ride.
80km: A shorter loop still showing the region in all it's glory.

Start times:
200km and 150km: Will be communicated later
105km and 80km: 8h00 to 10h00
