That was it! The #dutchmountainride đŽđŒââïžđŽââïžâ€ïžâđ„
Recommended! Pick nicely wide tires (I rode Smart Samâs @schwalbetires 57mm) for comfort and fun! đ I rode my @santosbikesnl travelmaster 3+ đ”đŒââïž
Day 3 of our #dutchmountainride
We expected mainly gravel through the fields, but also today we found many nice forest trails! Paul surprised me with a ride on the old steam train from Simpelveld to Schon op Geul and back. The railway dates from 1853!!
We also visited a working mill we passed on the way and the young miller gave us an extensive tour.
We rode the last few km on the rain and finished this lovely 3 day tour in Maastricht. We went for pizza and the next Paul took me to a wellness facility. What a WONDERFUL present good my 40th birthday!! đ

Yay! Weâre riding the Dutch Mountain Ride, which covers 7 âmountain topsâ⊠the highest one counts 322meters đ. Day 1 from Maastricht to Voeren. Beautiful forest trails. Itâs supposedly a gravel route but weâre happy we have wider tires on our Santos cross lite and 3+. We ride many âhollow roadsâ which seem very typical for this region (the south of Limburg) and some bumpy and steep mtb trails. We end our day at the house of a lovely and brave lady host from âVrienden op de fietsâ. She has home baked âLimburgse vlaaiâ ready for us.
Day 1: 42km
Summits: Observant â
Kattenroth â
