Omloop der Wielercafes
Omloop der Wielercafes is a gran fondo-style mass-participation ride in Valkenburg, Netherlands, scheduled for March 14, 2027, covering roughly 112 miles.
About riding in the Netherlands
The Netherlands is famously flat, with dedicated cycle paths everywhere, so wind is the biggest factor rather than terrain. The small Limburg hills in the south hold the region's few real climbs. Spring through early autumn is the usual season.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 112 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 11h 11m |
| 12 mph | 9h 19m |
| 14 mph | 7h 59m |
| 16 mph | 6h 59m |
| 18 mph | 6h 13m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
