From Langdorp to the Paalse Plas, cycling around it and then back.

A ride around the Paalse Plas. I register this ride under "recreational," but it is perfectly rideable with a racing bike.

Recreational because I ride along a number of narrow but paved roads.

I ride solo, so there's no problem. Together with one or two cycling buddies, it works just fine too.

This route is therefore 100% paved and goes along low-traffic roads. As of March 2022, there are works on Gerhagenstraat.

I cycled on a Sunday and that was no problem. During the week, I don’t think you can pass there.

At the Gerhagen parking area, it’s best to take a left onto Heggebosweg, right onto Schoterweg, and then right onto Hommelbeek.

This way, you get back on the course.

Around the Paalse Plas, be mindful of walkers and golfers.

The Nieuwe Dijkstraat between Schaffen and Engsbergen has a bike path on the left side.

It is reasonably drivable along a somewhat busier road, but not easy to get onto from Engelbeekstraat.

On Sparreweg, stay to the left of the road because you have to turn left after 100 m.
