Roll out of Soesterberg and let the ride unfold: past Blikkenburg manor, then Huis Cammingha castle, before the Hoogt van 't Kruis nature reserve opens up. Onward through Einde Gooi and Vijverhof, both nature reserves, with Park Vliegbasis Soesterberg rounding out the green stretch. The 64.3 km loop is 90% paved, with the rest unpaved, and just 139 m of climbing along the way. Then it's back to where you started.
