Ride it in stages
Few riders hold 124 km on a trainer. Ride it a stage at a time: the cuts avoid the middle of the big climbs — a stage ends at a summit, in a valley or on the flat — and this page remembers what you have ridden and what comes next.
8 stages of about 15.5 km — none over 50 minutes at 165 W.

About Amstel Gold Race Toerversie
The only hilly corner of the Netherlands is a maze of narrow lanes, and the Amstel Gold Race uses all of it. The sportive, ridden the day before the professionals, winds through the same countryside around Valkenburg: dozens of short climbs, constant corners, and hardly a straight kilometre.
No single hill is long. The Keutenberg has the steepest ramp in the country, the Eyserbosweg arrives just when the route has worn you down, and the Cauberg — the climb that made the race famous — rises out of the middle of Valkenburg at the end.
Held on the Saturday before the Amstel Gold Race, in April, over six distances from 65 to 240 km. The organiser lists its 150 km course at 1,920 m of climbing.
Why ride this route indoors?
- Thirty short climbs is thirty intervals, with whatever recovery the road allows — a session nobody would dare to write.
- The rhythm of these hills, on and off the power all day, is its own kind of fitness, and it transfers to any hilly race.
- Outdoors the hard part is the corners and the crowds; here it is only the climbing.
Good to know
+Is this the official course of Amstel Gold Race Toerversie?
No. It was recreated by Cycloscape from open map data (OpenStreetMap) following public descriptions of the course, for indoor training. It may differ from the official course or from current road conditions.
+What do I need to ride Amstel Gold Race Toerversie indoors?
A smart trainer or a power meter, and a browser. Cycloscape connects over Bluetooth or ANT+ from the browser, sets the resistance of a smart trainer to the real gradient, and turns the route’s GPX into a 3D world. There is nothing to install.
+Can I ride Amstel Gold Race Toerversie in stages?
Yes. Few riders want more than 50 minutes on a trainer in one go, so Cycloscape offers its 124 km in 8 stages of about 15 km, none longer than 50 minutes at 165 W. The cuts avoid the middle of the big climbs — a stage ends at a summit, in a valley or on the flat. Start from any stage and, if your legs are good at its finish line, keep pedalling: the ride carries on into the next stage and every stage you finish is ticked. The page remembers which stages you have ridden and which one is next.
+Is it free?
Yes. Riding it needs a free account — sign up in seconds with Google or a code by email, no card. Your result is saved and goes on the route’s leaderboard.
