Saturday 7 June 2025
The ultimate traverse through Limburg is back! This is Geile Strecke. Join us on Saturday 7 June 2025 for a full day of unrivaled gravel tracks and hidden forest roads. Back for its third edition, you will take on a 200 kilometers gravel ride in one day, exploring all the best of Limburg.



Coffee & Pastries
We'll get started with coffee & pastries at Crossroads, stock up some extra bars and set off at sunrise for a day in the woods. Close before sunset we welcome you in beautiful Maastricht for the finish of a festive ride. You'll find our lovely crew of the Syndicate on two spots on the route to offer you some well deserved extra fuel. Drinks, snacks and bars are here for the taking.

Post-Ride Treats
After your ride, enjoy the post-ride treats including pizza, drinks and unlimited story sharing - all for €20 per rider. This traverse is a tribute to the great outdoors of the province of Limburg in The Netherlands. Expect many hidden forest paths, awesome gravel alleys, and some rolling hills through the best national parks of the region.
Bring a friend, explore solo or share the ride with some new friends from the Syndicate Cycling Club. Soak up the gravel vibes - ride for the fun, not the speed. We see you in June.
