Arno Wallaard Memorial Toertocht

The Arno Wallaard Memorial Toertocht is a cycling tour starting in Meerkerk, crossing the Dutch polder landscapes of Alblasserwaard and Vijfheerenlanden. This event shares its date with the Arno Wallaard Memorial race, following the same program. Participants can select routes of 30 km, 60 km, or 120 km, accommodating both leisurely cyclists and those seeking a more demanding ride. The routes feature the characteristic narrow polder roads, extending deeper into the countryside than the race typically allows. While some parts may overlap with the race course, others lead to smaller villages exclusively for the tour. The attraction lies in the expansive Dutch scenery, the wind sweeping across the Alblasserwaard, and a ride designed for observation rather than competition.
