Why the Ltd Gravel Raid?


When I was living in the US, I did a couple of off-road races, which were a lot of fun. Gravel endurance races over 100 miles with 10,000 feet of climbing, high up in a remote area. With several timed sections that count for the win there was a competitive edge to it.

It’s about more than racing though; it’s a celebration of cycling, of having a good time on the bike. But you need to have balls to do it too. It’s challenging and I wanted to bring this to Europe and to my cycling friends. And here we are, the Laurens ten Dam LtD Gravel Raid.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

A cycling adventure unlike anything you’ve done before.



Gravel Grinding

Our routemeister came up with the best routes of Hellenthal region. It's both beautiful and challenging. With a well-balanced mix of paved and unpaved, flat and hilly, fast and technical, social and competitive. Pick your distance: 110K or 140K!



MUSIC FESTIVAL

Life is about more than riding a bike. So we offer a great music festival with live music (GUITARS) and DJ's. So prepare for a good party with craft beer, marshmallows at the camp fire and hearty food!




Top-notch food

Mountainbike

A gravel bike is the go-to bike for this event. However there are no limitations.
A cross bike, MTB or a road bike with gravel proof 32mm tires (with profile!) will also do the job.
