Bockerijders

Bockerijders is a single-day autumn gravel ride organised by True Grit Cycling Productions that uses Rijstal Venhof in Herkenbosch as its start and finish. The event branding describes it as a HERFSTIGE GRAVELRIDE DOOR HET LAND VAN GRIND EN ZAND, and the route emphasises extensive unpaved sections to showcase the region’s gravel and sand terrain. Riders may choose from three distances and benefit from on-route provisioning, technical support, and a relaxed free-start window that suits varied pacing and group styles.

The day includes a structured registration window with distance-based check-in times, a broad free start window for all participants, and a social afterparty with food, Kwaremont bockbier and live music. Practical perks highlighted by the organiser include Komoot route sharing with a one-month Komoot Premium code per entrant, bike-wash and maintenance samples from Squirt, and technical support from Dekkers Tweewielers. The page notes that participants may change their chosen distance on the day without prior notice, reflecting the informal, rider-friendly format.
