Be an old-time TT hero for a day during the 65-kilometre Tour de TT cycling route. This cycling route showcases all the beauty that Drenthe has to offer. The route also takes you along the two former TT circuits.
The most extraordinary parts of the cycling route are the old circuits. In 1925, almost a century ago, the circuit of more than 28 kilometres ran along a long triangular route from Rolde to Borger, via Westdorp to Schoonloo and from there via Grolloo back to Rolde. Experience first-hand how the drivers tore along this track. The fact that it was no more than 3 metres wide and unsurfaced in parts did not hold them back.

Even so, the search was on for a more suitable track and the results of this search can be seen south of Assen. This second circuit was in use from 1926 until the 24th Dutch TT in 1954, with some small alterations over the years. It is incredibly special that this site is still used as the start and the finish for the TT circuit to this day.
Each race has a number of pitstops, and the Tour de TT is no different. Leave your bike for a walk amidst the tree tops along the Boomkroonpad (Tree Crown path) near Drouwen. In the early days, the racers had no time to spare for the many dolmens near the track, but you do. There’s no need for you to be the first to reach the finish line and beat records! The main thing is for you to have the best time ever in Drenthe.
