Starting in Heerde, I roll through the IJsseldelta, where the wind plays with the open fields, and the roads stretch endlessly ahead. This area is beautifull to discover, but we are heading towards the other side of the ijssel. Reaching Olst, the ride slows down for a moment—waiting for the ferry over the IJssel, watching the water move, letting the legs rest before the next stretch.

On the other side, the real magic begins. The roads around Heeten are something special . Gravel paths winding through farmsteads, empty country lanes where silence takes over, and the feeling of being completely out there. Just the road ahead.

Mostly we stop for coffee at Brasserie Dertien. But a ice cream on the way back in Olst at Bakhuus is also a good idea. Then it is just pacing back to home.
