2025 Swift Campout: Horizon Bicycle Club, Utrecht, Netherlands

Swift Campout is the annual, global call to go bike-camping to celebrate the solstice. For the eleventh year in a row, adventurers will pack camp gear on their bicycles and head out on June 21st and 22nd, 2025 to kick off summer with a bike-overnight. 

Swift Campout is an ode to spending the longest day in the saddle, to the shortest night under the stars and to the stellar community that rallies to share this stoke. Join us!

We’re pleased to introduce you to Horizon Bicycles Solstice Campout

On the solstice weekend the team of Horizon Bicycles Utrecht will be camping with friends of the shop at an amazing spot in the middle of the Veluwe (NL). It’s always a joy to go bikepacking with fellow cyclists—Swift Campout is a special occasion that brings us all together！  We ride out on Saturday in Utrecht, leave the city behind, immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of the area. Enjoy a late sunset on the campsite. The route offers a mix of dirt and pavement, providing a diverse riding experience. We’re looking forward to another memorable trip filled with adventure and camaraderie!
