About this race
The Heicom Oudejaarsveldtoertocht Cyclo 78 Wezep is Cyclo '78's year-ending mountain bike tour, held in Hattemerbroek near Wezep in Gelderland. This is the 35th edition of a local old-year ride for cyclists preferring dirt, forest, and winter conditions over a road race. Participants can select 30 km or 50 km routes, with starts available in the morning between 8:30 and 10:00.
The routes traverse rolling heath fields, enter the Veluwe forests, and include single tracks that provide the ride's challenging mountain-bike character. It attracts regional cycling enthusiasts, including younger riders, who receive a medal upon finishing. The clubhouse-style conclusion is integral to the event: post-ride, participants convene in the Noord Veluwe Boys canteen for pea soup, oliebollen, and beer.
