Quintana Roo fietsparcours<\/div>\n[\/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h4″ size=”16″ font_weight=”bold” txt_transform=”none” font_family=”none”]1 ronde van 94 km[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1740654452065{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Net als het zwemonderdeel beslaat het Quintana Roo fietsparcours van de Middle Distance bij Challenge Almere-Amsterdam ook \u00e9\u00e9n ronde. Eerst rijd je via prachtige fietspaden langs het Weerwater, door de bossen van Almere-Haven, richting de dijk. Eenmaal op de dijk, rij je al snel door de historische havenkom van Almere-Haven om vervolgens ongeveer 45 kilometer dijken richting Lelystad te rijden. Aan de linkerkant zie je constant water en zelfs de skyline van Amsterdam, terwijl je aan de rechterkant Almere ziet overgaan in de prachtige Oostvaardersplassen voordat je in Lelystad aankomt. Eenmaal in Lelystad sla je rechtsaf de polder in en rijd je via rechte wegen via Zeewolde terug naar Almere. Onderweg heb je gegarandeerd veel wind en je rijdt constant onder zeeniveau.<\/p>\n

Via Zeewolde kom je uiteindelijk weer terug op de dijk richting Almere. Terug in Almere-Haven kies je dezelfde weg terug richting Almere-Stad. Als je opnieuw bij het Weerwater aankomt, kun je het stadion al zien en horen en staat het publiek je alweer op te wachten. De tweede wisselzone bevindt zich ook in het Lumierepark.<\/p>\n

Je komt iedere ronde door het stadion, door het bruisende centrum van Almere-Stad, maar ook door het prachtig groene gebied van het Weerwater waar je eerder in zwom en waar je ook al met de fiets passeerde. Leuk weetje: het Weerwater was ooit zee, werd toen drooggelegd en daarna tot stadsmeer omgedoopt. Vandaar de naam ‘Weerwater’.<\/p>\n
