Three routes for the weekend (or during the week if you have time)

Bee VeloScout and Acelera we never sit still. When we are not at work, we are on our bikes. And while cycling we discover new beautiful routes. These routes are so beautiful that it would be selfish of us not to share them with you. In this blog we slowly descend to the south. First of all we share a beautiful route in North Holland, then a real South Limburg pearl and we conclude with a real calf bite in the Ardennes.

Acelera: Tour of the Water Supply Dunes

You may be familiar with this route if you live in Amsterdam or on the coast. This classic takes you past all the beautiful parts of the Randstad, without constantly driving through residential areas. If you start in Amsterdam, you have to bite the bullet. Only after 20 minutes are you sitting outside the city and the great enjoyment can begin. Forest, dunes and bulb fields, this route has it all. Tip from us: treat yourself to fresh fish at one of the fishmongers on the beach.

Acelera: Beautiful surroundings of Maastricht

It may be unnecessary to say that Limburg is a beautiful place to cycle, but we'll do it anyway: this tour is a real gem. It takes you past rivers, lakes and two border crossings. You could therefore also call it a beautiful cross-border tour. With an altitude of 550 metres, this tour is easy for everyone and there are plenty of catering establishments along the way to relax.

Acelera: Ardennes - Bouillon - Tour from Paliseul

As everyone knows, the Ardennes are one of the first real tests close to home. This tour has more than 1000 meters of elevation and when you are just getting started (read: you are at ⅔) you will be faced with three climbs of 10%. That is why we also call this route a calf-biter. Fortunately, after these three climbs you cycle the tour fairly flat. This tour requires some character at times, so if you are getting on your bike for the first time, we may recommend that you choose a different route.
