Nordrhein-Westfalia is a very densely populated area even without the Euro Cup. This does give you the advantage of great public transport across the region, as TodoTerreno mentioned, but it also means there will almost always be heavy traffic. Staying off the autobahn will not help - local roads are full of local traffic.
Germany has something called the Deutchlandticket - you pay 49 euros for the month and can take any public transport for free, short of IC/ICE express trains. In NRW, this should also cover the Regional Express trains that are very nearly as fast as ICE trains in that area (~5 minutes slower over a 2-hour journey). It's a great deal, and I believe it's available to non-residents, but you have to jump through a few hoops. More details here: https://jonworth.eu/germanys-49-euro-ticket-a-faq/
The Eiffel National Park (Rurberg as the central village) has nice roads and not too much traffic IIRC. You're also within a few hours' riding distance of both Nürburgring and Spa. Near Aachen, you have the headquarters/warehouse of FC-Moto, where you can pick up just about any piece of gear you could think of.
