About this race
The 11th Bergen MTB tocht is a mountain bike and gravel tour starting at Sportpark Orderbos in Apeldoorn, Gelderland, with a start window between 09:00 and 11:00. Participants can select from 26, 40, 56, and occasionally 70 km distances. The shorter three routes are designated as MTB options, while the 70 km route is exclusively for gravel bikes, provided via GPX. Registration is affordably priced, and the event is part of the NTFU tour calendar, not an elite race.
The primary MTB routes are entirely off-road, crossing the forests and undulating terrain near Apeldoorn, featuring approximately 300 meters of elevation gain. The trails are noted as demanding, yet the variety of distances accommodates both novice riders and seasoned mountain bikers and gravel cyclists. A.R. & T.V. De Adelaar is the organizing club, ensuring a well-equipped event with facilities including showers, distinct changing rooms, a bike wash station, secure bike storage, refreshments, and bike hire.
