A roundtrip of about 180 - 190km with about 1600m elevation. Camp out next to a river on a private guest farm. 80% road 20% gravel. Route open for discussion, can add more gravel.

This is a must watch for any adventurer. Sherry a petite Colombian, now living in the Netherlands with her partner, has only been cycling for just over 2 yrs (definitely not 3).
This movie is about an hour, but it will take you through the emotions of ultra-bikepacking.
