Major props ... I would have gone straight on the tarmac after finishing the ride with your buddy and heading home! Love the Cycling Fanatics Sliders 🤣
Jasper you convinced me after a friend couldnt make my planned gravel trip later this year, I'm going to do the whole thing solo, 1125Km, its going to be an adventure, and all the hardship you faced just adds to the story at the end!
Been using komoot for a while and the automatic routes are usually not awesome indeed, but with a bit a customisation is easy to improve them, and the highlights help a lot to see alternatives with pictures and reviews
I've only been using Komoot for a few months< really like it but I agree that you have to put some of your own input into the equation to get the very best results.
I have done a similar type of trip at the Veluwe last summer. Although it was a 160 kilometer one day ride with my normal road bike with gravel tires on it, it was awesome. The Veluwe area is certainly the best for gravel riding in my opinion, although I was completely wasted by the end of the day due to relatively a lot of changes in altitude throughout the day. Definitely will do a similar trip in summer 2021.
Prachtig avontuur, Jasper. Oooh wat een horror op het einde, maar dat maakt juist thuis bij je gezin zo waardevol. Ik wil zelf dit jaar 200 km op een dag in mijn eentje. Voor jou niks natuurlijk, maar voor een ouwe als ik ...best aardig. Wat is Sam toch een schattig jochie.
mooie video ! grappig, gooiersgracht. huis waar ik opgegroeid ben kwam in beeld. wij fietsten voor het naar school gaan rondje gooimeer toen je nog over de A27- in aanbouw kon. Tip voor altijd warme handen bij regen en 0 graden: open palm neopreen mitts uit de windsurfshop (bijv. die van mystic). super comfortabel op het stuur ook als het zeiknat is en handig in gebruik omdat je ze weg kan klappen zonder uit te doen. cheers.
The last year has been..... hard. I need a week on my road bike somewhere interesting. Like the south of France. For now I live vicariously through yiu.
Exactly the same experience with komoot gravel vs mtb here in finland. "Gravel" seems super keen on always taking paved bike paths if available, "mtb" goes on every possible mini footpath somebody could probably technically ride on some full suspension fat bike 😂 Strava "prefer dirt" + gravelmap for reference works OK, but the strava route tool still leaves quite a lot to hope for in terms of usability compared to komoot. It ain't easy!
The route suggestion functionality of Komoot isn't really good in my opinion but damn for manually cherry picking and discovering sections it works amazing!
Nice tyres! I've got myself also Vittoria Tirreno Dry for the winter and despite the 'Dry' name they are great and fast, not for mud but besides that very versatile. Great Video!
The area at 25:03 is where I got my first flat tire ever. It was freezing, raining and cold as hell, just like in this video. I was really happy when I managed to change my inner tube at the side of the road. Sweet memories everytime I drive on those roads
Toffe video en storytelling! 1 kleine kanttekening wat mij betreft. Wanneer je die plug af snijdt, gooi het afgesneden gedeelte dan svp niet in de natuur. De natuur geeft ons fietsers alles, laten we er dan ook goed voor zorgen ♥️🌳
Looked like a great ride! Thanks for the content. I’m planning an epic ride around the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, Canada. Ride totals 295 kilometres and over 4000m of climbing. Look it up if you’re curious for a new challenge when the boarders open up. I’ve certainly been inspired by your ride across the Netherlands. 🤙🏻
Hey Jasper! Quick question about your handlebars. Did you choose a wider handlebar then on your racebike? And did you go for the flared out ones or standard ones? Thx!
@@jasperverkuijl Cheers! I guess it's great if I consider that I only started cycling 2 or 3 years ago (at the age of 21) and I only have a massive couch potato history unlike many athletes who started to take the sport seriously at early childhood, haha!
Komoot is rubbish in my part of the UK. Similar story with the gravel trails by my house. I think it has potential but just doesn't have the user base to generate the information required to be an effective app.
were there moments in the tour where your brakes did not rub? I just got a disc-brake gravel bike and im wondering if that is the accepted reality of it ^^
Waarschijnlijk heb je wind mee. Vroeger vaker van Rotterdam naar familie in Haren bij Groningen gereden. Toen de fietsen nog van staal waren en de mannen ook. Gewoon alles goed plannen en een goede dag kiezen. Je hoeft echt geen topatleet te zijn.
Geen idee. Wat is snel? Goed inremmen is heel belangrijk. Bekijk mijn 3 video's over de bouw van deze gravel fiets, daar leg ik het uit (in de 3e video)
Komoot is terrible and I can’t understand why people are always pushing it. Design your own route with the many alternatives. If you pay for Strava their route builder is excellent or use ride with GPS.
In my head, I imagine the Netherlands to be so incredibly urban, surprised to see so much off-road sections, if not complete wilderness
unfortionatly its going away rapidly, Goverment are buying alot of fields and land up from farmers and such to build buildings :(
Yeah man even I was surprised by the off roads there!
The off road is 5 to 10 lines of trees then fields. No more than that. Belgium is the same. Its mostly tracks connecting suburb after suburb.
How are the Germans supposed to walk in and take over again without all that wilderness?

I find komoot terrible. I much prefer Strava route builder or ride with gps.
If you ever do gravel riding in the U.S.A. In2022 , try Poseidon x gravel bike it is only 750 ! With a 1 by 48 cassette !!! Great gravel bike !!!

@@jasperverkuijl Yes. Komen er dit jaar nog social rides trouwens? Afgezien van Corona-ontwikkelingen.
@@woutervanes3533 nog niks gepland hoor. Even afwachten hoe het allemaal loopy dit jaar

Ik herinner mijn eerste keer dat ik 200km fietste nog als de dat van vandaag. Tranen! Je kan het!🤙🤙
@@jasperverkuijl Dank je Jasper, ik hou het voor ogen.

Great video Jasper! It makes me want to ride my bike in the east of the country once too:)
Keep it coming 💯💯
Good to see you Jasper.... wondering what had happened to you
great video especially with these roads
Lucky you you manage the crash without any problems especially at the beginning
Yeah it could've messed up my weekend really bad!
The last year has been..... hard. I need a week on my road bike somewhere interesting. Like the south of France. For now I live vicariously through yiu.
Yeah we all want that. For now need to stay closer to home unfortunately...

Yeah I'm messing around with both too now... It should've combined hahs

Will check that next time. Thanks 👍
Finally you had time to finish the edit :)
You live in the greatest country. I can't wait to go back!
Nice tyres! I've got myself also Vittoria Tirreno Dry for the winter and despite the 'Dry' name they are great and fast, not for mud but besides that very versatile. Great Video!
Yeah these are great gravel tires actually🤙 like you say,all but muddy conditions haha.
Discovered your channel today; Good stuff! Keep up the good work and many thanks
Welcome to the channel man! You are pEt of the cycling fanatics community now!🤙🤙🤙🤙
wonderful editing Jasper!
Nice trip and super video 👍

Zwaar respect voor je. Super gaaf om dit te zien. Je Doorzettingsvermogen al helemaal petje af. 🤙🏼

100% gelijk. Stom van mij! Ik neem altijd de verpakking etc mee en gooi ze thuis weg.
Ongelooflijk wat vet zeg. En wat een doorzettingsvermogen! Petje af man.
It's not over till it's over 🤙🤙🤣
Lachen om zoveel trails en plekken uit mijn eigen omgeving te zien :-)
Amazing video😭 really wish there were road like this in Hong Kong, we are always riding in the city
MTR to the new territories dawg. you can find some. but not much ;)
@@craigelliott1989 agree! There are some places, but not much, riding in the jungle is amazing 🤤
I assume you have been to hk too?
cleaning bike before yourself, that's the spirit :) So, seems u like it. What' s next? XC in a few years time? Then enduro?
I'm doing a mtb marathon this summer 🤙
The bmx is out! Awesome!
Bmx?

Wow great stuff man! Good luck!
epic adventure! it's an experience of quality adventure.
Hi Jasper, what kind of tubeless repair kit do you use? Especially the foldable knife seems pretty handy!
Probably the cheapest I could find haha. Can't remember
Nice
JASPER LEKKERE VENT!!!!
Looks great fun but hard work in cold wet conditions. Must have made in ten times harder
Absolutely, imagine this with sunshine and 20c 😻🔥🔥
Great vid 👏👏👍🏻
Tof avontuur!
1 mei weer Race around the Netherlands, misschien ook iets voor jou?
Mmmm, ik ben niet fit! En, momenteel geen tijd voor helaas
Hey Jasper! Quick question about your handlebars. Did you choose a wider handlebar then on your racebike? And did you go for the flared out ones or standard ones? Thx!
Check my video on building the gravel bike🤙 it's actually more narrow than my road bike bar.
My challenges are getting into competition (Cat 5 racing and one ITT) and in May I am about do a double century (330km) and 400km in September.
Woohoo nice! Good luck!
@@jasperverkuijl Cheers! I guess it's great if I consider that I only started cycling 2 or 3 years ago (at the age of 21) and I only have a massive couch potato history unlike many athletes who started to take the sport seriously at early childhood, haha!
Mooie video van een mooi avontuur! Smaakt naar meer?
Zeker!🤙
music is a hit
Anna's hoeve taking casualties 😂
💯 goed gespot
Reinvented the wheel with Komoot MTB I am afraid. That is the sado-masochist's mode!
😂
Komoot is rubbish in my part of the UK. Similar story with the gravel trails by my house. I think it has potential but just doesn't have the user base to generate the information required to be an effective app.
In general it was pretty good I think. I just made the mistake to out it to mtb😭 and the end of the route was kinda crap yes...
I'm in Thailand and Komoot is sort of OK. Not perfect. But what are the alternatives? Suggestions??
@@Biking360 I use garmin connect to plan my routes and local Ordnance Survey maps which are incredibly detailed (UK only sorry)
@@abedfo88 That's useful info and thanks. I have a Garmin Edge 830 so could use Garmin Connect but I've never tried it. I'll definitely give it a go.
Hi Jasper, welke maat bibshort en shirt draag jij van Siroko?
M en M
were there moments in the tour where your brakes did not rub?
I just got a disc-brake gravel bike and im wondering if that is the accepted reality of it ^^
Plan is om vanuit de Hoeksche Waard naar een dorp in de buurt van Leeuwarden te fietsen.
En dat in één dag zo’n 230 kilometer.
Waarschijnlijk heb je wind mee. Vroeger vaker van Rotterdam naar familie in Haren bij Groningen gereden. Toen de fietsen nog van staal waren en de mannen ook. Gewoon alles goed plannen en een goede dag kiezen. Je hoeft echt geen topatleet te zijn.
Nice!!!🤙
dude wheres the fire from :)
5/5 for the music
27:42 what are thooosseeeee :-)
toptrip man
He Jasper, hoe snel slijten je voorremblokken?
Geen idee. Wat is snel? Goed inremmen is heel belangrijk. Bekijk mijn 3 video's over de bouw van deze gravel fiets, daar leg ik het uit (in de 3e video)
francis cade brought me here.
29:43 is it possible to give a little tutorial to do it pls
Take plug, put plug in hole, pump up tire, pray for the best, done
Dutch person here, and never knew what Radio Kootwijk looked like
It's a really strange and amazing building in the middle of nowhere haha
I hope you took a bucket of vitamin C afterwards, as well.... that last part looked hella rough...
It was for sure. I didint get sick so all good☺️
Great content Jasper👍🏻 I would prefer shorter videos; approx. 10 minutes!
Just split this up in 3 sessions!😉 Make sure you come back and watch the entire thing haha 🤙🤙
Is that a person on min 7:45? it looks super creepy
Why you think I jumped into the forrest?😜
🤙🏼
Gaia GPS all day every day
I also feel down beacause of this scamdemic. It's sad.
17:41 Good old stereotype Dutch clogs spotted.
That's all Melle stylo right there haha

I pay for strava but the route builder isn't always that good. No experience with off road on strava btw
@@jasperverkuijl ride with GPS has a great route builder too.
Can you get the crash on video next time?
