Roll out of Lippenhuizen and follow the Opsterlandse Compagnonsvaart, the canal setting the tone for a flat 69.5 km loop. Next comes De Weyert, a windmill marking the way before the route crosses the Delleboersterheide nature reserve. With 27 m of climbing, it stays gentle throughout, and the surface is 99% paved, so the wheels keep turning. Back to Lippenhuizen you roll, the loop complete.
