Roll out of Nijkerk and back again on 63.8 km of paved riding. The route slips past Fort bij Krachtwijk, then through Koningin Emmapark and on to Paleis Soestdijk, a castle. Next come Paardenbos and Roosterbos, two nature reserves, before Kasteel Groeneveld, another castle. With just 69 m of climbing, it stays gentle the whole way to the Eemmeer & Gooimeer Zuidoever and home.
