Let's ride Groesbeek & Nijmegen MTB courses

Let's ride the Groesbeek and Nijmegen courses, both highly rated with great descents and easy to join together.
They are good fun courses with enough technical challenge to test skills but not too difficult for the less experienced if taken slower.

At about 15km each we can aim to complete both courses.
Whilst the pace will be relaxed to ensure everyone can keep up and have a good time; being able to complete this ride will require a reasonable level of fitness.
It is also possible to either just ride Groesbeek or cut some of Nijmegen off depending on the group on the day.

Meeting place is the large car park outside farm-camping Nederrijkswald which is free.
For anyone coming by train the nearest stations are Nijmegen Heyendaal (~20min ride) or Nijmegen (~30min ride).
For a local bike hire No Limits Biking looks a good option

Aprés-Ride There are also various options for some food and drink after the ride and the easiest is probably the Cafe at the Africa Museum about 4km from the end of the Nijmegen course:

Vignette While a vignette is not required to ride these courses, you could help maintain the trails in the Nijmegen area by buying a yearly vignette on the MTB Rijk Van Nijmegen website
