Roll out of Nijkerk and let the ride unfold: first the Harderbroek nature reserve, then on past the Haspel nature reserve. Next comes the Speulderbos nature reserve, before you cross the Boswachterij Speulder en Sprielderbos. With 113 m of climbing spread over 60.9 km, it stays gentle, and the route is almost entirely paved. Then it's back to Nijkerk to close the loop.
