Cycling OFF Road in The Netherlands, NOT what we Expected!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Let me know what your thoughts are on this story? (better in 1 video like this, or separate episodes like I published half of this vid before)

[@daanlinders7997]

Ik vind deze langere videos zeker leuker (10+minuten). zo kom ik beter in het verhaal, bij een video van een paar minuten zit je net lekker in het verhaal en dan is de video al voorbij.

[@larrymcgoldrick3471]

Much better all one video, I think. Thank you!

[@christianb.1028]

Definitely longer videos, imo.

[@FreerkDuursma]

I prefer longer videos like these, I feel like i get more drawn into the adventure! The shorter videos were good also, but for videos like this I felt like they get cut just as I was getting into it. Great video, and a great adventure you did here!

[@w.1929]

Yeah all in one go suits me better!

[@volodymyrkomliev5849]

The whole story about gravel adventure in one video is what is needed! Forest's parts are gravel paradise indeed! Thanks Jasper for this cool adventure! 💪🤙

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks mate!

[@JamesBouault]

Another awesome video, Jasper! Love it when you do these trips, it’s like the perfect advert for getting on the bike and exploring, highlighting the very best of cycling; the freedom, the adventure, the drama, creating memories and the occasional not so good moment! All part of the experience though. As always, great footage taken during the ride / trip and top production of the video too. Well done. The story of the trip definitely works well, being presented all in the same video. And it was good to see you riding with Joris once again. Brings back memories of your epic cycling trip together in the south of France those years ago, and that outstanding / adrenaline pumping decent of Mont Ventoux.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yo thanks for the feedback man!! Great to hear you enjoyed 💪🏻💪🏻

[@dennisstempher9684]

Wat een toffe rit en video! Goed dat je er alsnog één video van hebt gemaakt... Zo leuk ook om zoveel plekjes te zien en te herkennen uit mijn eigen omgeving waar ik zelf ook regelmatig rijd :-)

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks!!

[@johnschmitt3083]

Very Nice Trails! These trails like that one at 17:31 is exactly why in Gravel kilometers, avg speed and even altitude are meaningless. You have so much resistance from the ground, especially when it's wet that even a ride that is under 50km will need way more watts than a 100km ride on roads.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Watts are watts 🤙🏻

[@MerlijnSchoppers]

Love the ‘Krentenbollen in boterhamzakje’ look at the end. 👌

Great video again, really picked me up! I really need to visit you more often in the Netherlands, really nice.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Cheers. Yeah man if you know where to go it’s great 👍🏻

[@MisterG00]

4 of 5 days were routes from Erwin Sikkens? Love to see you riding in my area (Apeldoorn / Kroondomeinen). Didn't ride the full green devide yet, but did the middle part once backwards on 33mm (Apeldoorn - Rhenen). Furthermore, i've rode most of the tracks between Apeldoorn and Zwolle ofcourse. It looked like a very nice and heavy adventure. Man, 700 k's on the heaviest surfaces in 5 days. Respect.

[@jasperverkuijl]

No only 2 (the 300km of the green divide). The routes in Limburg and back to Eindhoven I made on the go. The kroondomeinen Route I got from a friend. All of them where super nice!

[@JairoVera]

Awesome video, Jasper! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@denbot.cycling]

This and the race video got me through Colorado River ride on rouvy 🥵... Excellent footage, keep it up

Man, your making me want to go ride these gravel and forest rides if I end up going to the Netherlands. Forget the city !

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yeah man! It’s amazing g

[@tomdevlin9442]

Great video Jasper, works really well as a single, longer, video showing the whole adventure 🤙

[@jasperverkuijl]

Cheers!

[@brazghost]

Cool trip man! Keep up the good work and congrats on first flight as first officer.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Well, It was actually the last flight as first officer. I’m upgrading to captain 👨🏼‍✈️!!

[@paulburrows2679]

Fantastic video Jasper. Really enjoyed the whole adventure in one video. I love biking in Belgium 👍

Thanks!

Hey Jasper i feel you with the wheel thing i did a rear wheel on the mtb one stick as thick as my thumb destroyed half the wheel followed by a 35 km run/walk in carbon shoes , cool adventure fun to watch 👍👍

[@19MHansen95]

I don't mind if this has been partly posted already. This video is still gonna hype me up to go for a ride this afternoon!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Let’s gooo!!

[@Mickthemove_]

4 parts of about 6/7 mins is always good but not so long between episodes :)

[@gerl1ng]

Did you look into Orbit 360 Routes for your next gravel adventure already? Would love to watch those

[@jasperverkuijl]

Not yet. Looks cool!

[@pieterboshoff2982]

You will.love the rolling speed of the 29inch wheels. Let me know when you are in South Africa 🇿🇦 and i will take you on a ride with one 😉

[@sillytorque]

The actual difference of a large gravel 28” tyre mounted on the same size rim as a 29”er isn’t that big ;)

[@jasperverkuijl]

Both tires are 29” so I don’t know what you guys mean haha.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Sounds good man!!

[@Just-benji]

Nice video!! Heb je een GPX van het deel in Maastricht? Ik ben opzoek naar een bikepack tour voor een video!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Meestal doe ik linkjes naar Strava in de omschrijving. Staat het daarin?

[@danielnascimento8874]

Great video, thanks! I like both options but maybe a bit more the long version for the full trip! One question, what's the name of the song in the beginning? Thanks again

[@jasperverkuijl]

I use (paid) music from epidemic sound. Don’t know the name of the song now but you can check the website

[@FrankDecker]

Hi Jasper, nice Video again. The loop you did in Maastricht is there an official route? It looked awesome would like to ride it myself in spring :) would be awesone to get some GPX from it. Keep going on with your cycling adventures :)

[@jasperverkuijl]

Check my Strava for the route /gpx. Can’t remember if it was an official route Have fun!!

[@FrankDecker]

@@jasperverkuijl I tried already before writing here but as there is no search option for other riders and I only see the last 5 activities this was not possible, so I hoped you might remember as it was some well known route. same as the green devide. Thanks anyway.

[@jasperverkuijl]

@@FrankDecker I have a link to the first ride in the description of the video. you can see all other rides on the next days. (indeed no search so you need to scroll ;) ) here is the ride in limburg: www.strava.com/activities/7034424937

@@jasperverkuijl You are a hero you looked this up for me, did not expect that thank you man :) As said I could only scoll 5 activities, then end. Anyway thanks a lot for your time on this!!!

[@leonj9452]

Hi guys great video. Unfortunately at the Maastricht part (Savelsbos) you have used (for bikes) forbidden trails. Stick to the gravel code 😊

[@MrCyclist]

Not a great fan of off-road but thoroughly enjoyed this. I can be persuaded. Thanks Jasper

[@sillytorque]

The road is good training for off-road- which is where the magic happens;)

[@jasperverkuijl]

Or the other way around haha

Waar is die brug en dat treinspoor😊

[@jasperverkuijl]

Ergens op de route maar weet niet meer waar 🤪🤪

[@ArnageLM]

Mooie beelden! Deze dude ken ik van je Ventoux downhill video. Klopt dat? Was hij degene die rechtdoor schoot?

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yup dat is Joris 👍🏻🚴

[@KuriReevel]

Cool adventure :)

[@CycoWarriorx]

Just curious JV, if you had/have any wildlife concerns to be aware of and if so, what kind??

[@MisterG00]

None, all you might come across in this area are foxes, roe deer and wild swine. Those are all afraid of human and will run. Also the wolf has been spotted again the last four years after a long period of none, but there are still only like four pairs of them in The Netherlands.

[@CycoWarriorx]

@@MisterG00 Cool… thank you… I often wonder when he’s on these rides… I’d be dressed like Rambo… 🤣🤣🤣😆🍻

[@jasperverkuijl]

We spotted quite a few deer (like Bambi size, cute and all) some birds and a small (harmless) snake. So not the crazy stuff you think about 😂😂

[@nicknick194]

Is that a Cannondale CAAD12 with gravel tyres? If so what size tyres?

[@jasperverkuijl]

Caadx (cyclo cross bike)

[@SoLooTB]

Nice “ lil’ “ adventure! ✌️😅

[@jasperverkuijl]

Small country big adventure!

[@pieterboshoff2982]

I liked the video thankyou. Just a thought. Why did you not ride with a deul suspension mtb. Would have been a lot more comfortable and safer.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Safer? No why? It’s complete overkill on trails like this. The gravel bike is ideal.

[@racoon2own]

Geweldige video Jasper, is er ergens een mogelijkheid de gpx bestanden van de individuele dagen te krijgen?

[@jasperverkuijl]

Thanks! Gpx Op m’n Strava 👌🏻
