The first event of 2026 is just around the corner, will you be joining us? This March, we kick off the new season with the ODS‑Vitaal MTB & Gravel Tour, including the popular clinic that was a major success last year.

Will you take on the adventurous gravel route with its challenging trails? Or will you choose an MTB ride through the breathtaking hills of South Limburg?

Whichever route you choose, you’ll be treated to stunning landscapes, technical challenges, and that wonderfully satisfying feeling when you cross the finish line.

Would you like to take your skills to the next level? Join the clinic, learn from a professional, and sharpen your technique.
