Roll out of Borkel and past the Sint-Antonius Abt windmill before the world turns green. The route then threads through the Malpie, Stratumse Heide, Groote Heide and Leenderbos nature reserves, one after another. Of the 55.5 km, most runs unpaved, with 41 m of climbing spread along the way. Then it's back to Borkel, where you started.
