Started cycling in 2014 and did my first bike packing trip in 2019. Loved this way of traveling and a year later I found myself riding Race Around The Netherlands, my first bike packing race. Ever since I've been riding long distance races yearly and I love writing about them. Hope I'll be a good dotwatch reporter as well

Race Around the Netherlands GX 2025
Fast and flat, but far from easy. The Dutch gravel delivers wind instead of climbs. In its second year, the race sticks to its roots—quick, flat sections—though this time riders will need a bit more tyre to handle the tougher gravel.
