Inspired by the "Hell of the North", the "Cycle Collective" created a 259 km long route and turned it into a challenge (all details can be found at https://www.cycle-collective.de/news/roubaix).

We think the route is perfect for a nice (long) day in the saddle and look forward to others who feel the same way! The first part of the ride takes us east from Osterath to our beloved Langenberg Sender and back. Only a few cobbles, but most of the 1,754 meters of elevation gain will be behind us then. About halfway through, we plan a lunch break to refill (tips/recommendations welcome). In the second part of the route, we will visit our neighbors in Holland and finish in Osterath - where, as far as we know, there is no velodrome.

We are not looking for the next Mathieu van der Poel or the next Alison Jackson, but good company. The plan is to average 25-26 km/h. However, such a long tour requires a certain level of fitness. Of course, it is possible to do only the first or second part.

If it rains too much, the tour will be cancelled. We will inform you in time.

There will be 2-3 opportunities to refill water bottles or snacks along the way.

Meeting Point: Cycle Collective Shop & Café, Willicher Str. 5, 40670 Meerbusch. If you like, you can join us already on the RRB RE10 to Meerbusch-Osterath at 7:08 a.m. in Düsseldorf Hbf (platform 5) or at 7:11 a.m. in Düsseldorf-Bilk (platform 4).
