Ronde van Stiphout / 31ste MTB ronde 2026

The Ronde van Stiphout is a late-November MTB and gravel event based around Stiphout in North Brabant. This edition adds a few extras, but the core is simple: riders choose off-road routes, follow them by GPS, and get a catered stop along the way. Some routes go over the Gulberg, nicknamed the Dak van Brabant, where the climb averages 10% and tops out at 13.6%. Riders can download the routes by QR code at day registration, while pre-registered riders get a Fietssport link the day before. After finishing, there are showers, bike-wash facilities, secure bike storage, hamburgers, beer, and a finish surprise. The event also carries the NTFU “Extra Goed Geregeld” label, which points to solid organization rather than just a pretty route.
