Adventureriding for beginner in nl or b?
 
Hello there,

I live in germany, close to the dutch border and am wondering if any1 could tell me where to do easy BEGINNER FRIENDLY offroading for Adventurebikes (crf1000L in my case) in the netherlands or belgium?

I know that it is legal in the netherlands to go offroading but also heard that it is not beginner friendly, as there is alot of sand. In belgium its suppose to be easier but i have no clue where to go and didnt find any stuff in the internet.

Non paved roads really is doing the trick for me for now. Gravelroads, fireroads, farm ways, stuff like that, nothing 2 technical. I just don't wanna be completely clueless when i hit on gravel on my vacations (last time in spain f.e.; really was a mupped show on very well gravel roads, easily wouldve been a highway for you guys).

Just easy stuff to get some confidence!

Can you help me here?

Just to make things clear, offroad isn't legal in The Netherlands, allroad is.
Might just be an defenition but still, so you can ride unpaved roads and tracks.
How you can find them, download maps from www.openstreetmap.org locate unpaved roads and start riding them.
Enjoy your ride.

You don't learn to drive off-road on dirt roads.

It also makes no sense for me as a beginner to drive around alone on semi-legal gravel roads in Belgium or Holland and get in trouble with the police.
In addition, a 250 kg motorcycle which you do not control.

My recommendation is:

Take an enduro course for beginners
Take a light motorcycle and then switch to your fat motorcycle later.

Trail training is also highly recommended to learn the basics of off-road driving first!
Here you learn a lot of basics and that is not such a torture on a light motorcycle. :thumbup1:

Believe me or not: I wouldn't start with 250kg off the road. Have fun! bier

Thanks for the replies :)

I am tempted to add a CRF250L to the garage, not gonna lie, but since it's not legal to drive it dirty here it would probably collect dust.

Did you find any tracks last summer?
