More than 26 years ago the last heroic Elfstedentocht could be skated on ice. In memory of these freezing winters, over 1.000 participants take the challenge to ride the 200km through the windy northern provence of the Netherlands: Friesland. More info here.

The premiere of Poland: on June 4th the first Polish Climate Classic will start from Gdansk! 250 km along the Polish coast. The number of participants is limited. If you want to be part of this historical ride and set an example for others, reach out to Dominik

On Sunday the Belgian Klimaatklassieker will start in Ieper. After short breaks in Gent, Brugge and Dendermonde you’ll finish at  the Grote Markt in Antwerp!  And Monday it is time for the forth Edition of the legendary Climate Classic of 375km along the future coast line we will prevent from happening!
