The race
The cyclists started in Amsterdam and passed the famous Dutch dikes and dams to visit Middelburg. Via Breda, Den Bosch and Utrecht they returned to finish in Amsterdam. Riders had to rely on their own orientation, skills and physical powers to connect the different checkpoints. They had to register at each point with an ikTag, which streamed a time notation with an instant portrait or status update to the web. Checkpoint volunteers gave the riders a moral boost, food and drinks before they were off on their own again.

In the meantime, the direct stream of information to the web enabled supporters to follow the riders’ transformation from strong, fresh men to powerless sleepyheads. To see a full report, please check out the 24 hour blog.
