BRM 1000 Maastricht, Rondom Luxemburg. 2-8-2018
Als ik het weerbericht voor volgende week zie (30 graden overdag, 18 als minimumtemperatuur), dan lijkt zo'n niet-ademende noodbivakzak me erg klam. Er gaat dus een dunne zomerslaapzak mee.
Voor de rest zien we het wel. Vanaf vrijdag vakantie en dan ga ik de route in detail bestuderen en alles op orde maken.

Hi,
I also registered for this tour and I have few questions:
- aero bars are allowed on this tour ?
- do you plan to ride as a group and plan breaks together (and sleeping) or is everybody by itself.
- sleeping: hotels or tent/sleeping bag ?
Thanks,
George

Aero bars are allowed.
I think groups will form, just like in every brevet. But you are still on your own.
The stopping strategy will probably be different throughout the field. I planned hotels for the first two nights. The third one I´ll probably ride on with an occasional powernap. So I just take a thin sleeping bag with me.

Maybe ultraivo can inform us about the number of participants? I'm expecting 20-30 riders.
I have the same strategy as Ernst but find it difficult to estimate where i'll end up on the second night (and didn't book a hotel for that night). In the most optimistic scenario, I hope to be back in Maastricht, late Saturday evening.

Since it's pre-qualification time I expect well above 30 participants.
I rode it in 2016, quite often I met other riders on the road. Some riders ride slower and sleep shorter while other riders tend to stop for a full night of sleep and blaze past the slower riders in the afternoon. Some riders overtook me 3 times during the event.

De weersverwachting wordt ook met de dag slechter. Vorige week gaf weerplaza nog max. temperaturen van 29/30 graden, inmiddels is het bijgesteld naar 32/33 graden.... Niet zo overdreven heet als vorige week, maar toch.
