Gravel riding
As far as I'm concerned, this is the ideal Sunday ride. For the gravel bike, of course, because no less than two thirds of the 90-kilometer route is unpaved.
You get on in Oud-Rekem and continue cycling on gravel paths through the floodplains of the Maas. It is possible that…

Trail Reviews
Almost the same ride as the 100km Golazzo. Only Pietersheim and the Terril taken out. Especially on Sundays it is busy in these places and it is not recommended to drive here because of walkers. The rest of the ride makes up for it. And by omitting these two points, the percentage of gravel is even higher because a number of pieces of asphalt are skipped.
Also a route from a collection by Bram Tankink. Very beautiful and varied route, including along floodplains of the Maas, canals, farm roads, heathlands and the 2nd part through NP De Hoge Kempen. Some parts overlap yesterday's short route or you cycle in opposite directions. Despite the relatively low number of elevation meters compared to the km, there are still a few short, nasty climbs and descents that can be a bit tricky, especially due to loose sand/gravel.
