Taxandria Gravel

Taxandria Gravel turns the Merksplas-Kolonie site into a gravel village for a weekend. The Saturday is open to everyone, with a free expo of gravel brands, talks, food stands, a terrace, inflatables for the kids and free social rides, and riders collect their numbers for the main day.

On Sunday the long rides start early, with group starts and the option to roll out freely until later in the morning. The longest loop comes back through the gravel village at halfway, so friends and family can cheer riders on before they head out again.

It is organised by Count Me In, the team behind the PlugPlug Gravel rides, who pitch it as a main goal for the season: long gravel days that are fully supported with generous feed stops and mechanical help, plus coffee and cake at the start.
