Toertochten (Cycle for Hope)

Cycle for Hope’s Toertochten are charity cycling tours starting from De Blauwe Schuur in Amerongen, offering 60, 120, and 180 km routes. These rides take place in late summer and challenge participants physically while they raise funds for clients of De Hoop, an organization supporting individuals with mental health issues or addiction. The event also features an annual MTB tour in Amerongen, utilizing the natural terrain for a mountain bike ride instead of a road race. Cycling enthusiasts ride together, with proceeds supporting the HopeAlive telephone aftercare service, Stay Clean self-help groups for addiction recovery, and development programs that assist former clients in exploring interests, talents, and future educational or career paths.
