2010 Calendar
So, new year, new challenges to tackle.
On the agenda is my first triathlon, just a small one though: Eton SuperSprint – 400m swim, 20km bike, 5km run.
But the big one, and probably only one for the year: Amstel Gold Cyclosportive – 250km. I managed to register 4 minutes after it opened. (With a few intermittent crashes in between).
“Tourversion Amstel Gold Race full in recordtime
18 / 01 / 2010
Sint Geertruid – The popularity of the Tourversion Amstel Gold Race has taken immense proportions. The registration of the tour cycling classic, that will take place on 17 april, with start and finish in Valkenburg, is entirely full since this afternoon. Within barely 40 minutes after the digital registration via the website www.amstelgoldrace.nl opened, the maximum number of 12.000 tour cyclists has been reached. An unrivalled success.
This means that the registration has been fully booked and the entire pack is complete three month prior to the event. Last year the maximum of 12.000 participants was reached very fast. Then the organizers had to close the registration within 30 hours. This year the registration opened at 12 o’clock and in no less than 40 minutes the maximum number was reached. Something that never happened before in a recreational sporting event in the Netherlands.”
