Ride 1 of the Market Garden tour will take you through the wooded area of the Kempen, with a lovely stop at a restaurant hidden within these woods. Later you will be heading towards the actual city where the ground offensive of operation Market Garden was launched, where you will be able to visit a Market Garden related museum. Ride 1 ends at the true Corridor where the liberators set foot on Dutch territory for the first time. With its 150 km / 93 miles you will have enough time to enjoy all the stops and the riding. A good first ride for the Market Garden tour.

In ride 2 of the Market Garden tour we will bring you to the two in our opinion best WW II related museums in this area. One more general WW II and one specifically about the operation Market Garden on the area where the airborne operation marked the beginning of the liberation of the Netherlands. With a nice stop for a drink and a bite to eat and another operation Market Garden related memorial this is another ride well in the Market Garden theme.

As there is still enough nice riding to do in this area ánd we can recommend one more WW II related museum we added this ride 3 to the Market Garden tour. The ride of 165 km / 100 miles will take you riding in the valley of the river Meuse, which we will be crossing by a little ferry boat. With one of our favourite cafes as a stop for lunch another good ride in this Market Garden tour.
The Clogs & Windmills tour will take you to the lovely city of Haarlem, just East of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The rides will let you explore the part of the Netherlands that is actually called Holland: the provinces of North and South Holland. You will be able to see clogs and windmills, as that where Holland is famous for. And although this part of the Netherlands is completely flat and even most of it below sea level, there is some nice riding to do over dikes and backroads, bringing you to some #1 tourist highlights in the Netherlands!
Clogs & Windmills ridesOfficially the province of Limburg of the Netherlands does not have any mountains, but it sure has hills. Therefor it is called Het Heuvelland: the hilly country! So a good area for some nice motorcycle riding on plenty of winding roads. Valkenburg is a very popular destination for tourists and therefor has all the facilities you would want to make this a perfect place to stay during the Dutch Mountains tour.
Dutch Mountains ridesThe Flanders area of Belgium is mainly flat, but that doesn’t mean you can not do a nice motorcycle tour in this area. We ourselves were pleasantly surprised by the nice riding we have done with this rides. And this being the Chocolate and Beer tour we have added some stops “in theme”. We are sure you are going to love Bruges and its surroundings!
Chocolate & Beer ridesRight in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes ánd the exact area where the Bulge of the Battle of the Bulge was situated we have 2 amazing rides. The Belgian Ardennes are a very nice area to enjoy riding your bike. And that all in combination with interesting sites where, if you want, you can get to know everything on the Battle of the Bulge, take impressive pictures with one of the many WWII memorials that you will come across but also nice stops for drinks and food! And with the lovely city of La Roche-en-Ardenne in typical and beautiful Ardennes landscape we are sure you will have a great time here during your own motorcycle roadtrip.
Battle of the Bulge ridesThere is a saying on the 3 most famous French wines: Bourgogne makes you think of silly things, Bordeaux makes you talk about them, and Champagne makes you do them. So we had to come and explore the Champagne area in a Quazy Rides tour! We're exploring the Parc naturel régional de la Montagne de Reims, the Marne valley, the vineyards and champagne villages in the so called Golden Triangle of Champagne during the day and getting to know everything about the "devine nectar" after 2 beautiful rides at night. Including some tasting of course!
Sipping Champagne ridesArras is the capital of the Pas-de-Calais department in the North of France and located just north of the Somme Valley. During World War I, the great war, Arras was literally hit in the heart and almost completely destroyed. The battlefields of the Western front and the Battle of the Somme in particular lie along the river Somme and its tributaries between Arras and Amiens in the direction South / South-west of Arras. Arras and the Somme Valley can be described as a beautiful, atmospheric and cosy, but with a very moving history. In this tour you will get to enjoy some nice riding in the area of the Somme Valley, get to know more about the Battle of the Somme ánd pay respect to all the people who left their lives in this battle and the great war.
