Limburgs Mooiste originated in 1991 from a tradition of bicycle tours for family and friends of the Heerlen cycling club Grand Ballon. The eight members of this club of friends then decided to open up the annual bicycle tours to a larger audience and turn them into a tourist achievement tour. Since then, Limburg Mooiste has grown into a major cycling event with more than 12,000 participants each year.
On May 23 and 24, 2025, the 32nd edition of this cycling event will take place, including road bike, mountain bike and gravel bike route(s) for cycling enthusiasts of every level.
