Default Gotland Grand National 2016

The world's biggest enduro race (~2850 racers) is run this coming weekend.
I'm loading my EC200 into the VW Transporter tomorrow morning and set out (with my Orange-riding mate) on a 600km trip to Nyn?shamn where we take the ferry to Visby, Gotland.

Our race is on Saturday. As we arrive very late Wednesday evening (after midnight), we have one day sightseeing Visby and Gotland and then Friday is used for check-in and studying of the track. The track is approx 22km and the race goes on for 3 hours. I hope to be able to complete 4 laps. The fast guys e make 5 laps or even 6, but I am somewhat slower. OTOH, a lot of people also go 4, 3 or even 2 or one laps, so there are all sorts of speeds.

I am, as usual, racing in the 50-65 year class.

Anybody else going this year?
