Extra benefits:
- You can use the bike repair service if you have a breakdown along the course.
- Bike marking service: If your bike ever gets stolen, it will be easier to link it back to you.
- Those coming by bike, will receive a nice souvenir from us as a reward.
Location: Parking behind the town hall, August Nihoulstraat, Scherpenheuvel.
The bike parking is guarded on:
- 13 June between 4:30pm and 10:30pm

There are limited car parking spaces in Scherpenheuvel as the car parks in the centre will NOT be accessible. The free peripheral car parks will be accessible, some via diversions.

You can only drive again after the green flag has passed through. Follow the instructions of the Police or signallers.
