gravel ride

1 day endurance gravel Grinder

Our gravel ride is a single-day endurance gravel ride spanning 160 to 170 kilometers through the scenic Hautes Fagnes region of Belgium.

As you could already read on our homepage we were forced to cancel our gravel ride.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t ride our gravel ride on your own initiative (and you start wherever you want on the route). Below we have 2 routes available for you for free.

In our webshop you can also find previous gravel rides and we will send the stemcap after you have completed the ride.

Important: make sure you know where you can buy food/drinks & bring some cash because card payment is not always available!

FAQ

What is the length of the ride and how much elevation gain is there?

Anticipate covering approximately 160-170 kilometers and ascending about 2500 meters in elevation per day. And the XL-version is just over 200km.

Is the route signposted?

NO. You’ll require a GPS device.

What bike should I use?

We recommend using a bike with at least 33mm or larger tires. The bigger the better (40-45mm is ideal). But any off-road capable bike in good working order can be used.

How much food & water should I carry?

Check the possible supply points on the route. Carry enough food and water with you to cover the distance between these supply points.

Do I need bike lights?

The sunlight should last sufficiently for you not to require lights, but it’s advisable to carry a compact set of lights to enhance your visibility in case of fog or adverse weather conditions.

Should I carry a USB powerbank?

It’s a good idea to have a USB power bank or battery with you, as the ride may extend beyond your initial expectations.

What spares or tools should I take?

Ensure that you have all the essential tools and spare parts to address common issues such as flat tires, worn brake pads, loose bolts, and possibly even a broken chain. Particularly, having spare brake pads is crucial if there’s a possibility of rain. Additionally, consider carrying some cable ties, which can come in handy for various tasks.

Where can we stay before / after the ride?

Camping in the parking area is not allowed. Explore these alternative options in the vicinity:
