In Amsterdam

We are staying at The Belga Hotel on Hartenstraat about 2 blocks from the Dam Square.

Anyone out there in town yet?

I love this place...

Can't wait for this weekend.

Merci Guillaume, I appreciate the advice. That would explain a lot. We are coming. We have tix and a room in Prague. No turning back now. We haven't made arrangements in Policka yet either.

Confused?

Is there another forum where this race is discussed? It doesn't appear that anyone involved with this event is answering any questions. The only response I've seen here is from Ramon.

Is it still going to happen? Should we make other plans?

I'm confused...

How would I reserve a spot on the shuttle to Policka. The timing would be perfect.

Will it be possible for my wife to ride as well?

I have so many questions. Are you ready?

Thank You for your help in advance.

Where is everyone staying? We are arriving in Prague on the 5th and exploring the city. Any suggestions? I ca...
