Tour du JourTour du Jour

Spring is here again. The flowers are blooming, the cows are grazing in the meadow and the sun will (hopefully) show itself a bit more often. Time to get out again! We get you started for an unforgettable spring on your motorcycle. We've picked out some great routes that you can do within a day. So gear up, pull your bike out of the shed and ride!

But where to go? Sometimes it’s quite difficult to come up with a new route for a day trip. In your own area, you often have seen a lot already and end up on the same roads again. Of course, you can take the motorway, but let's be honest: boring! Curvy roads with beautiful views, dykes along the waterfront, special trails; that's what makes many a motorcyclist's heart beat faster. We’re happy to help you on your way! 

We have picked out lots of beautiful routes that can be done within a day. We’ve highlighted six of them on this page, but there are many more to explore! We have collected all the routes in the MyRouteApp: an app where you can easily search, save and navigate routes. Download the app or go to the website and check out all the cool routes we have prepared for you.

Memories of WOII

This day trip takes you to multiple World War II monuments, museums and landing beaches. A day full of history about D-Day, with one sight after the other. Along the coast, it tends to be a bit busier, but once inland, it is a quiet ride on beautiful roads. The route is quite long, but well worth it!

Colorful Trip

During this trip you can enjoy the beach and the vast dunes, but for most of the time you’ll be in the Bollenstreek. You ride around in a sea of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and other bright colored flowers. The huge flower fields make this area very colorful, especially in spring. A perfect route for this time of year!

Beaches of Noord-Holland

Noord-Holland is surrounded by water on the East, North and West side. Therefore, the province also has an awful lot of beaches. A perfect place for a ride along the coast! During this route, you get to look out over the Markermeer, the IJsselmeer, the Wadden Sea and the North Sea.

Roundtrip Amsterdam

This route is exactly what it seems: a round trip right through Amsterdam. For some, it sounds like drama, for others like music to the ears. At a quiet moment, the trip doesn't take that long, but let's be honest: it's never quiet in Amsterdam. Luckily, there are plenty of places in the city to grab a bite or a drink!

Raven's tip: Wasaga Beach Route

Dit is één van Raven’s (@raven.yyz) favoriete routes in Canada. De route gaat grotendeels langs de kust van onder andere Nottawasaga Bay, Hogg Bay en Sturgeon Bay. Dit levert prachtige uitzichten op. Het andere deel van de route rijd je door het binnenland en kom je onder andere langs Copeland Forest. Ook in dit deel is genoeg te zien!
