Ermelose Fiets Sensatie Gravel 2026

The Ermelose Fiets Sensatie Gravel begins at the Muzenhof on Leuvenumseweg in Ermelo, Gelderland. It is a gravel tour, not a closed-road race, offering participants routes of approximately 60 km or 100 km on unpaved paths around Ermelo. The event takes place in September, with morning start times and straightforward pricing: a standard entry fee, a reduced rate for NTFU members, and complimentary participation for members of the Veluwse Wielervereniging. The cycling route utilizes the Veluwe's terrain, featuring forest tracks and undulating ground, designed for exploring the local landscape rather than aiming for a city finish. Recent editions have featured new routes that remain closer to Ermelo, utilizing nearby paths more extensively. The broader Ermelose Fiets Sensatie program also features an MTB tour, highlighting the same local advantages: abundant off-road riding, longer distance choices, and terrain suitable for cyclists seeking a more challenging ride than a typical road sportive.
