About this race
The In en om Herperduin is a mountain bike tour held in and around Herperduin, situated on the edge of the Herperduin and Maashorst area in the Netherlands. At least one running of this event took place in October. The format is a local off-road ride, not exclusively for elite racers. Forum participants have shared accounts of the route, necessary repairs, track conditions, and the event's organization.
The course incorporated forest trails and local paths, featuring sections that surprised a rider familiar with the terrain. One participant experienced a rim failure after approximately 5 km, while another noted a mud pit near the finish. Riders commended the thoughtful route planning, the unlatched gates encountered, and the organizers, known as the Coppi's. A local participant suggested that other cycling clubs could consider this tour a standard for inventive MTB route creation.
