Bikepacking in the Ruhr area?
Admittedly, it wasn't the first destination that came to mind. Instead of Alpine panoramas or coastal roads: mine shafts, urban gravel riding, and slag heap hopping? Sounds unusual at first. But that's precisely what piqued our curiosity. Three days and 330 kilometers later, it's clear: the radrevier.ruhr region surprises – with an infrastructure that seems tailor-made for gravel riding, and a […]
