5HVLN Toertocht Gravelbike

The 5HVLN Toertocht Racefiets is a road cycling tour starting from Herberg de Pot in Markelo, Overijssel. Participants can select either an 85 km or a 125 km route. The longer route begins earlier in the morning, with the shorter route commencing an hour later. WTC Markelo organizes this event, which operates as a Dutch toertocht: a pre-defined cycling route for those preferring a set course over a closed-road competition. The Markelo region largely defines the ride's character, featuring rolling hills, forested sections, and sufficient elevation changes to present a significant challenge on the longer route. The source material also notes difficult off-road sections near Markelo; therefore, participants in the Racefiets version should review the organizer's route information prior to registration. Herberg de Pot serves as the event's headquarters. The reasonable entry fee positions it as a community club event suitable for both consistent road cyclists and those seeking to test their endurance over a greater distance.
