Race around The Netherlands

Very nice place De Proloog, also in the middle of a ride, for an Engadine Nusstorte with a cappuccino. Inspiring, there are always other cyclists on the weekend. The meeting point for drivers in Amerongen.

Please check the time! In the Dunes area it is not allowed to ride after sunset and before sunrise.
Therefor you are not allowed to take the normal route across the dunes from 8.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. Instead you have to take the detour route around the Dunes. Thanks for understanding!Race around the Netherlands GX is a fully self-supported bike packing event on mixed terrain. 2/3 of the route is paved and the other third is a good mix of gravel roads, single trails and some cross sections.
The RatNGX route will take you through many nature reserves. Most of these areas are protected by organizations such as Staatsbosbeheer or Natuurmonumenten and access restrictions apply.
There are many sections of the route that are not accessible between sunset and sunrise. During the night, these areas are for the animals only; walkers and cyclists are not allowed.
During the event sunset will be around 10.00 p.m. and sunrise will be around 5.30 a.m. Our general advice is to ride the entire route in daytime! That way you won’t miss out on some of the most beautiful sections of the route. However, for those riders who want to continue riding during the night we created ‘Dark detours’ for those sections where the night-riding restrictions apply. Taking these detours during the night is not optional, it is mandatory.
Not following these rules will lead into a disqualification from the event!
