For example start place and approx route?The basic information is known: https://randonneurs.nl/event/brm-400-amsterdam-nl-de-zuiderzeeballade/On this page you'll find regular updatesThis is a new route so normally seen Ernst should still be plotting it.The name does betray something, the Zuiderzee is the name of the sea which was where now the IJsselmeer is. So you can expect the route to go around the IJsselmeer but evade the 'new land' of the Flevopolder. It's a Dutch classic, a loop via the old land.

I'm going to have to scratch from the Bunnik 300 next weekend. I've given up trying to get back to the UK this weekend, so staying next weekend would make 3 weeks away which is a bit unfair on Mrs CET. Hopefully the dusting of snow that's arrived in The Hague tonight will clear first thing tomorrow and I can put together a couple of epic rides this weekend to make up for it.
Anyone planning the 200 from Maastricht this weekend? I'm hoping that I can finish this one, ideally with full feeling in my feet...J

Vrije controle/info controle means that you can go anywhere for your stamp. If nothing is open or you want to continue fast, you answer a control question which is on your brevetcard. The usual control in Drieslinter is closed for their annual holidays.

I wonder what the Dutch is for "Do you have something I can stamp my Brevett card with please?"... I take it a receipt from the spa is acceptable as well?J
There's another Maasland event coming up, starting conveniently close to the Hoek van Holland ferry at 9am. It's a 300 this time held on the 21st of july. Entries and info on:https://www.randonneurs.nl/event/brm-300-maasland-nl-de-duinen/
I'm seriously weighing up fitting tri bars for Dutch headwind riding, any strong opinions? Apparently it gets savage! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j_tb5_v31Y
... Right, another important purchase from Planet X to make then...!
Anyone else got hot tips on Dutch 300s? Especially about riding at night in the wind.
It's the Mcdonald's control at 180km that I'm looking forward to most! One more question - I know you have to have a bell in Holland. Is it acceptable to have one on your saddle rails? My handlebars are very busy with computers, lights, tri bars and bags so thought this might be a good way of obeying the law without cluttering my cockpit with even more junk.
