ROUTE
The start and finish is in the village of Amerongen, located at the Utrechtse Heuvelrug at the famous cycling cafe De Proloog. The route takes us first along the rivers Neder-Rijn and the Waal to the historic cities of Nijmegen and Arnhem (known from the film “A Bridge Too Far” about the Operation Market Garden). Next you leave the beautiful river landscape and the historic cities behind and the route takes you through the National Park Veluwezoom. The National Park is known for its endless heath fields, imposing country estates and of course one of the most famous hills in the Netherlands, the Posbank.
You will pass through the heart of Enschede and along the Dolmens in the province of Drenthe, prehistoric burial chambers where the cycle route passes by. After which the route leads you through the city of Groningen.
The wind starts to get stronger along the coastline. Instead of crossing the Ijsselmeer over one of the icons of the Dutch flood defense, the Afsluitdijk, riders will ride around the Ijsselmeer and will pass scenic harbors in the towns of Enkhuizen and Hoorn.
den Header the route takes you south along the Dutch coast. Beautiful beaches and dunes with little to no buildings, towards the port of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe. First you will cycle through the city of Rotterdam and across the Erasmus bridge towards the Maasvlakte.
The route takes you further south over the Delta Park Neeltje Jans, which is part of the Dutch flood defense, in the direction of Vlissingen. A historic city due to its strategic location. In the Eighty Years’ War between the Netherlands and Spain, the city was in Spanish hands for a while.
You cycle along the Belgian border towards the hills in the province of Limburg. Where you hit one of the iconic Dutch hills, the Keutenberg with a maximum gradient of 16%.
If you have conquered the hills you cycle back through the beautiful river landscape of the Maas towards Nijmegen. Via the southern side of the rivers over the dikes you will finish at the cafe De Proloog.

RATN2020 signup was two weeks ago; nice to meet some fellow riders, some of which I only met online before! Bike-check went flawless, thanks to Paul for some extra reflective tape; last year it took me 4 days, 10 hours and 10 minutes! Aim for this year was to beat that time, with an ultimate goal to go below 100 hours (4 days and 4 hours) #cycling #endurance #racing #ratn2020
Mijn vader is na 9 dagen gefinisht als de rode lantaarn van de Race Around The Netherlands! 😄 Zo gaaf, goed en stoer dat hij de 1902km binnen de tijdslimiet heeft afgelegd! Het was erg leuk om hem te (online) te volgen en ik ben supertrots! Toen hij ergens in Noord-Holland de grens van 1100km passeerde kreeg ik een appje dat hij nu het familie-record had. Vorig jaar was ik namelijk na 1100km gestopt. Ik ga zeker nog een keer proberen het record weer terug te pakken al zal dat zeker niet makkelijk worden!

Me getting all poetic after almost 1800 km in 4 days #cycling #ratn2020 #venlo #sun #fog #morning
Races like these are solo and unsupported, lit up by the occasional cheers from dotwatchers along the side of the ride and bumping into fellow racers whilst stuffing your face at random petrol stations.
.
Due to lack of data on my phone I was blissfully unaware that martijndriedonks had been chasing me at ~10km distance all day. It was good to share some icecream and chat when he finally caught up with me at Hilvarenbeek. Even better was riding underneath the huge banner and large bunch of cheering family and friends that had gathered along the roadside for him near Borkel en Schaft. And to top it all, just a few kilometers down the road, I found to my surprise that the random stranger cheering me on by the side of the road was in fact my husband who had driven over from Rhenen after work. ❤️ Riding into that night, i simply felt like I had wings, wings grown from the power of meeting nice people and loved ones wishing you well.
.
After forgetting to set my alarm that night when I arrived at my hotel in Stein and stopping for 8 hours rather than the planned 3.5 hours, I was never going to catch up with Martijn again. So I took his advice I just enjoyed playing around in the hills and bathed in that wonderful feeling when you know you are going to finish and whether you are 9th, 10th or 11th really doesn’t make any difference to how good you are feeling.
.
From what I could see, Martijn was riding well within himself. Finishing his first ultra was the mission. Mission completed ! I look forward to following his dot next year as I think this guy has the engine and the attitude to go much further in ultra racing.

Wednesday evening, after 4 days 13 hours and 8 minutes, I finished my unfinished business with the Race Around the Netherlands as 1st woman and 11th rider overall.
.
1907 km along a gem of a route to (re)discover how incredibly beautiful that little country I used to call home once upon a time actually is.
.
Aided by a solid period of training (silver lining of Covid-19 and thanks to rlpracing) little work stress (4 months of furlough and thanks to chris.meliascouser ), much more favourable weather conditions than last May (but still a bit of rain and wind), and much love from so many people wishing me to succeed this time, it felt so good to ride those final kilometers of the race across the dikes of the ‘uiterwaarden’ (floodplaines) of the River Rhine with the surrounding landscape painted in the most stunning sunset colours, knowing that THIS time I was going to finish what I started and I was going to finish it feeling good and strong rather than the utter mess I had worked myself into last year.
.
Those dikes are special to me because it is an area my parents would often take me and my sister for family bike rides. Later as teenagers we would hang out on the river bank beaches and enjoy summer swims in the Rhine. Seeing that landscape coloured in so many different shades of red and orange on the back of the ride I had just done is a moment I will cherish for a long time.
.
After that, it was ‘just’ a matter of bringing it home. Home to the proloog.cc in Amerongen where the race had started, home to my family who were cheering me in with the sound of drums and bells at the final traffic light just over the bridge at Rhenen and home to the biggest hugs with my dad, my sister, my husband and my brother in law.
.
Happy.
.
Biggest thanks to all who cheered me on roadside and via social media. Biggest thanks for continued support from rawvelo apidura and lecoluk too. Plus the j.laverackbicycles was just the weapon for this race.
.
Family time now. Blog to follow soon. Unfinished business finished ... or come back for another lap of the Netherlands after all next year ?

The Race around the Netherlands was another amazing ultra-endurance cycling experience. I pushed hard to finish the 1907km race as 2nd women and 28th rider overall in 5 days 11 hours and 43min. I guess ultra-endurance racing is about enjoying the intense highs that come with the journey and being able to manage the lows. The body seems to undergo cycles of being tired and unwilling to push the peddles to phases of being able to cycle with boundless energy. During the lows I tried to believe that “the brain is a hypochondriac that babysits the body” (rossedgley) and I would regain energy again. This was often the case in the late afternoon during the many beautiful sunsets I saw during the race. There is something special about riding at night over the quiet roads in an otherwise rather busy country.
Support from friends and family, whether by dot watching, social media or presence on the roadside is uplifting and gives so much extra energy. Thank you all for your support during the ride ❤️
A big thanks to adventurebikeracing for the great route and taking me through all the beautiful spots in Netherlands. Never knew there were so many sheep (and gates) in Friesland!
And last but not least– Baby Blue - no issues at all! ramsesbekkenk at beachbastards once again ensured that the bike was ready to ride! #racearoundthenetherlands #ratn2020 #ultraendurance #ilovecycling #plantbasedathelete #apidura

Last party- people mixing with an early rider at a really quiet Utrecht train station #cycling #ratn2020 #cap44
Day 2 stats; 13,5 hours riding time; 1 hour stopping time; 385 km and early stop and sleep at Amadi hotel (thanks elinevanstraalen ); jack.gooo was cheering for me at Ijburg! Got 6,5 hours sleep (including grocery shopping) before leaving the hotel at 2 AM) weather was awful 🌧️🌧️ in the beginning, but turned out great 🌤️☀️ with tailwind! #cycling #endurance #racing #outsideisfree #ratn2020
Going for the marginal gains #cycling #ratn2020
2020 has been a strange year so far. Under different circumstances my j.laverackbicycles J.ACK would have done several long Audax rides and carried me and all my kit from North Cape to Tarifa by now ...
.
.
But there are some silver linings too. I have enjoyed a solid training season and don’t carry as much fatigue.
.
.
This Saturday at 8am local time I will start the Race Around the Netherlands that was postponed from early May to the end of August.
.
.
After last year’s bitterly cold conditions, it looks like we mostly have rain and wind to deal with this year, but mild temperatures. Sadly those hot summer’s days are behind us now, but with a bit of luck the storms will have blown over at least.
.
.
A change in UK government advice for the Netherlands meant I nearly gave up hope of this race actually happening for me, but thanks to boardclaw I found alternative insurance (HeyMondo) that will cover. Observing 14 days of self quarantine upon return is a sacrifice I gladly make to have a chance to ride a lap of the Netherlands and see my family after not having seen them for so long.
.
.
Is it ‘essential travel’ ? No hard and firm rules about that, but for me it is.
.
.
After last year’s DNF in this race, this year is really all about getting it done and looking after my health. I will be carrying my bivvy kit but may opt for hotels if I get too cold/wet. Being a stickler for details, the various options are even marked up as cues in my RWGPS file 🤣
.
.
You can track my progress here if you like: https://ratn.legendstracking.com/
.
.
I will be cap number 02. The race is 1907km long. I have 9 days to complete it in, but having more time with my family is an incentive to try to finish a bit sooner than that.

De Race Around The Netherlands is afgelopen zaterdag gestart! Vorig jaar deden globeskater1983 en ik mee, dit jaar zijn het onze vaders die van start zijn gegaan! Het is leuk om nu de 'dotwatcher' te zijn en onze vaders en andere deelnemers te volgen! 😀 Mijn moeder en ik hebben ze op dag 1 nog voorbij zien komen bij het Veluwemeer. Gisteren (dag 2) zijn we 2x naar Gasteren gereden om ze aan te moedigen 😄 Op ratn.legendstracking.com zijn de 'dots' via GPS trackers te volgen op hun race om Nederland heen! Mijn vader is #126 en Wendy's vader #125 😊

I think that's me done in Race around the Netherlands 2020. I won't make any final decision until after a good sleep, but to cut a long story short my knees have given up on me.
A big push in the beginning seen me work my way up to fourth or fifth place. We reached Amsterdam around dusk on day 2, roughly 850km into the race, where my knees first started to complain and my pace slowed.
Eventually I found a less than perfect but sheltered bivvy spot by the sea and lay down for the night. When I woke up in the morning - and when I say morning, I mean an hour later - both my knees felt like they had been operated on, for a moment I thought they weren't actually going to move at all. Getting on the bike was not a comfortable experience. They did warm up after about 10 hours of riding and a stretch... They miraculously eased up and I powered through Rotterdam feeling optimistic again.
But then the same thing happened. Dusk set in and so did the pain in the knees. At this point I attributed it to the cold and set out looking for a hotel where I could at least get properly warmed up and attempt to reset - something that's virtually impossible to do when baked in sweat and sleeping outside. But by this time I had long left Rotterdam via a long, long, road through a bizarre Island inhabited only by sheep. It was late at night and local hotels now closed, so it was bivvy again on the beach.
Needless to say day 4 didn't bring new knees and they're quite important to the function of pedalling. They got worse and it simply became impossible to travel any further with any kind of efficiency and without damaging myself. So I'm having a hot shower and a warm bed for the night.
Overall I've taken it to be a positive experience. It's the first time I've ever quit a bike ride but the whole point was to set the bar so ridiculously high that there's no escape from the limits.
Roll on next year

We're back on the road. I was certain I'd be riding back to base right up until the point I got on the bike after a leisurely breakfast. My knees we're feeling OK, and despite having no motivation to continue at this point I sat on it and it felt like home. I guess this is what I am now: half man, half bike.
Sam's got the snacks.

We maken een diepe, diepe buiging voor deze topper! Martijn Driedonks is na ruim 4 dagen onderweg te zijn geweest gefinisht in de race van zijn leven: Race Around The Netherlands (in 1900!! kilometer de omtrek van NL gefietst). Na zo'n topprestatie zijn je billen, handen, benen én voeten wel toe aan extra verzorging. Wij hebben Martijn daarom gesponsord met een herstelpakket uit ons assortiment zodat hij zijn schrale huid snel kan laten herstellen en zijn spieren weer wat energie kan geven. Geniet ervan, dik verdiend Martijn!⠀

Vorig jaar kwamen mijn ouders mij nog opzoeken tijdens mijn Race Around The Netherlands! Dit jaar gaat mijn vader mee doen 🤩 Het fietsen van lange afstanden is voor hem niet nieuw. Vroeger ging hij al op fietsvakantie met mijn moeder en in 2007 heeft hij Parijs-Brest-Parijs gereden! Dus ik heb mijn liefde voor het fietsen niet van een vreemde 😉
Het leuke is ook dat globeskater1983 haar vader ook mee doet! Ik vind het mooi dat we door onze deelname onze vaders geïnspireerd hebben om dit jaar van start te gaan! Volgende week heb ik vakantie dus ik zal veel gaan dot watchen samen met mijn moeder, op de computer en live! 😄 Ik wens mijn vader en alle andere deelnemers heel veel plezier en succes!! 💪

Paul Bernd from Germany during the Race of the Netherlands. He passed through my hometown #Hoorn, where he stopped at a petrol station to get food and drinks, before he went further on his bike, into the night #ratn2020 #ratn #cycling #bonjour
Mission accomplished, RatN complete. 1907km in 5 days and 12 hours, or thereabouts. It's been an interesting journey. I only have a few random photos because I've not really been taking any. This one was snapped while sat in a bus stop during the early hours of the morning, contemplating why I'm sat in a Dutch bus stop in the early hours of the morning drinking Red Bull and eating instant coffee.

Some images from the Dunes and Rotterdam. 'Day' 3.
I hated the dunes. Much of the route is paved in cobbles, something I'd received advanced warning of but didn't give much more thought to. I'd rode Dutch cobbles before and naively decided they didn't warrant much concern. Perceptions quickly change after never ending hours in the saddle. Between the pain in my knees and the pain in my backside I couldn't stand and I couldn't sit, so the only option was to grit teeth and reluctantly bear it. Cobbled roads are commonplace in most Dutch towns and I'd curse them every time I seen them.
Rotterdam is a huge contrast to the rest of the country. Arriving at dusk is like being loaded into a giant neon pinball machine. Then in an instant the machine is turned off and you're plunged into darkness amidst a derelict landscape inhabited only by a few boy racers.
And then onto sheep Island...
Ending the day camped by a kids pirate ship on the beach.
Long distance cycling is a truly surreal experience at times.

Ongelofelijk! Dag 2 nog net begonnen en nu bijna al 700km wow. #Ratn2020
Race around the Netherlands starts tomorrow and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to sign up... So here I am.
1907km. Or 1185 miles in English money. I need to cover at least 150 miles per day just to make it back in time for the ferry home. For a bit of perspective I think last year's winner covered around 290 miles per day. It should be an interesting few days.
For anyone interested, the race will be covered by dotwatcher.cc, with tracking also at
https://ratn.legendstracking.com/
I'm number 147.
Starts at 8am.
Current status: sheltering in car from a thunderstorm.

Heb me tijdens m’n rondje Nederland kapot geërgerd aan dikke Duitsers op elektrische fietsen: die weigeren dus aan de kant te gaan voor een snellere fietser, zonder moteurken. #ratn2020
A month ago I finished right behind her in the #RatN2020, today I read this fantastic report of her race(s), super recognizable and wonderful to experience her version of this brutal experience as well. Must read! -> https://t.co/Zm6AM4FOv6 via @JasmijnMuller1
@aaiBoek Hoeveel km extra is dat ? #ratn2020

21900 km rond Nederland gefietst en amper gevaarlijke situaties tegengekomen. #ratn2020
Gelukkig (ongepland) #ratn2020 kunnen rijden voor regio’s van Nederland rode zones werden.
Heb nog een uitgebreid verslag bij de strava rit geplaatst.
