Leo kreeg na zijn openhartoperatie in 1986 het doktersadvies om te gaan fietsen. Zijn wekelijkse fietstocht met enkele buurtgenoten is de basis van de Tour d\u2019Asperges. Bij aanvang twintig deelnemers en uiteindelijk tot 2013 naar vijftig plus tien begeleiders. In het begin was het vertrek- en eindpunt bij De Karpendonkse Hoeve* met als enige tussenstop koffie bij Leo\u2019s aspergeboer te Lierop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">Het initiatief was succesvol en werd een jaarlijks terugkerend evenement. De deelnemers werden door Leo en Louis uitgenodigd. Het waren Captains of Industry, medici, politici en enkele oud profwielrenners. De opbrengst voor het Goede Doel werd gerealiseerd door een veiling te organiseren onder leiding van veilingmeester Diederik Westerhuis van Sotheby\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\"><\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fotodemeus-_DSC2285-2-Large-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-359 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fotodemeus-_DSC2285-2-Large-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fotodemeus-_DSC2285-2-Large-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fotodemeus-_DSC2285-2-Large-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fotodemeus-_DSC2285-2-Large.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-1\" style=\"background-color:#f2f0e9\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light\" style=\"min-height:400px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-0 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center is-image-fill-element\" style=\"grid-template-columns:56% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/094-Tour-d-asperge-2026_small-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-497 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/094-Tour-d-asperge-2026_small-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/094-Tour-d-asperge-2026_small-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/094-Tour-d-asperge-2026_small-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/094-Tour-d-asperge-2026_small.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:32px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">39ste Tour d\u2019Asperges<br>8 mei 2027<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:30px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\"><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:32px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.1\">Exclusieve Tourtocht<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">Met de groei van de club veranderde ook de ambitie en professionaliteit. De tocht vanaf 1988 was 70 kilometer, deelname was enkel mogelijk na een persoonlijke uitnodiging van Leo en Louis. Er was een tussenstop en de fietsdag werd afgesloten met een hoogwaardig vijfgangen asperge lunch in De Karpendonkse Hoeve*. Dit tot 2013, mede door het succes werd de start- en finishplaats verplaatst naar Fletcher Hotel Jagershorst te Leende. Daar werd ook de formule gewijzigd. Deelname werd enkel mogelijk via bedrijventeams. Van het inschrijfgeld werden de kosten betaald en het restant werd ter beschikking gesteld aan een Goed Doel via de nieuwe Stichting Tour d\u2019Asperges-Charity to Children. De Stichting is verantwoordelijk voor de financi\u00eble en administratieve zaken. De organisatie bleef in handen van Louis van de Waarsenburg. De nieuwe tochten werden langer, tot maximaal 100 kilometer en er waren meer deelnemers. Met twee tussenstops onderweg en een Walking Dinner bij terugkomst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignright has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"952\" data-id=\"210\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3.png 760w, https:\/\/www.tourdasperges.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-239x300.png 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:14px\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:14px\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:14px\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hoe het begon\u2026 De eerste Tour d\u2019Asperges werd georganiseerd in 1988 op initiatief van Leo van Eeghem, De Karpendonkse Hoeve* Eindhoven en Louis van de Waarsenburg directeur van CTC Management Consultants.
