You lift the silent throttle and the city soundscape slips behind you—only the whisper of tires on brick and the occasional bird call of the Ooijpolder. The Waalkade launches this two‑hour loop: a compact downtown start that spills east across low dikes into broad floodplain fields where hardy grasses and grazing horses set the pace.
