You see, it is not a maiden, but the initials of the place in which direction we expand our cycling.
What distance to choose
The Laura offers distances of 40, 60 and 100 km. Thus it caters for the well trained cyclist as well as for the person who just wants to cycle to enjoy Holland’s green heart. For those who cannot afford to cycle for four days it is possible to enter for just one day.
Kid’s cycle tour
A special route for the youthful cyclists has been plotted over a distance of approximately 20 km. Along the route they will find plenty of opportunities to get off the bike and play around. Of course it is assumed that these children partipate under the wing of parents, grandparents or other adults. The escorts do not pay the entry fee.
Evening LAURA
This four-day evening evening bicycle event is an ideal way to prepare oneself for the Laura or just to enjoy a sociable ride with other participants. The distance for every evening is around 30 km. Partipants number about 300. Laura has been able to plot routes in such a way that many cyclists are surprised about the abundance of beautiful spots close to home of which they were not aware. Along the way the checkpoints offer a possibility to have a sociable chat and a snack. A free apple is offered as an ongoing tradition.
There are special accommodations for campers
available.
