Race around Netherlands GX.
« on: 20 March, 2023, 10:32:55 am »
Laid up with a first bout of covid rather than training for Gravel Tro Breizh next month has led to some screen time searching for other mixed surface events for a future date.
This one came up and has peaked my interest.

I will be writing the commentary for dotwatcher, and I will be helping with the bike check.

Won't be racing this year tho.

Good for you J.
I see a few familiar names on the start list.
I assume you are assisting in the road version this year?
The gravel option for '24 will definitely be on the short list.
Riding through the parks and Nature reserves sounds intriguing, and the early dates fit fairly well.
The Norway event looks good too!

Basically the plan as I understand it is that it will alternate between the gravel edition one year, and the road edition the next. So this year is gravel edition, and next gravel edition will then be 2025.

ahhh I see that now :-)
It was early over this side. only one coffee and covid fog.
back to an alternative for 2024, and put this one on the back burner for 25.

Ruska. September each year. ~2000km involving Finland (tho this year starts in Latvia).

Highly recommend.
