Let's be optimistic and start a Race around the Netherlands 2021 topic. Still not canceled, supposed to start on May 1.
The website is here:
https://www.adventurebikeracing.com/ratn/Can it take place in May? Obviously travelling to the Netherlands is difficult, so most participants will be living in the Netherlands. The curfew (from 10pm to 4:30am) is a pain in the ass, but good chance it will be lifted by the first of May. And we can still ride solo, sleep in hotels, shops are open and take away is possible everywhere. If they can sort out how to do the bike check and start of the race, then it should be possible. Otherwise, postpone until September like last year?
Anyhow: I'm on the start list and in training (back-to-back 200km days planned for this weekend!). To be honest, I have no idea how to train for these things. I'm generally quite fit and can do properly long rides at any point of the year. My "training plan" is to get some long rides on consecutive days and see if I can handle it. If it goes ahead, then I'll do a DIY600 with full gear as final test.
