Hackers on a bike Pinknick/Corona edition was completed successfully!
preliminary schedule
- 8:30 depart from xopr's
- 10:30 (@~30km) pause at the smallest width of the Netherlands
- 12:00 (@~50km) (maybe) pit-stop in Hoensbroek
- 12:20 (@~55km) (maybe) pickup Da Syntax
- 12:35 (@~60km) arrive at ACKspace
things to consider
- bicycle repair tools
- proper protection from the elements (poncho, hat, sunscreen, hoody)
- Spacenet access which travels with us
- food + drinks (and plates + cutlery)
extra info
- The weather forecasts: weer.nl, buienradar.nl agriholland.nl knmi.nl and weerplaza.nl
- Climate info: Statistics have pointed out that it is best to cycle in May or early June. (See Klimaat van Nederland, Klimaat van België, Klimaat van Maastricht and Klimaatinfo.nl Limburg, all Dutch)
Have any ideas to bring? Put them on the discussion page so we can make a short list

previous events & test runs
These are the test runs and attempts:
| date | who | distance | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013-07-06 | Xopr | 72km | did a test run (it was actually to receive the prize of a bet which I won: Achel Trappist № 5) and found out that the comfort limit of an untrained person will be about 60km a day, so best practice is to keep the complete tour under this amount. |
| 2013-07-13 | Da Syntax | 40km | Herkenbosch to Heerlen; Great success! (xopr guesses) |
| 2013-07-14 | Da Syntax Xopr | 52km | did the actual trip from Heerlen to Weert |
| 2013-07-14 | Da Syntax | 30km | After a couple of beers (from all three countries we cycled through earlier that day) in Weert Da Syntax continued his journey Weert-Herkenbosch. This comes to a total of +/- 80km that day. So he guess it should be possible for a untrained person to cycle 80km in a day (maybe beer functions as a good motivator). |
| 2014-05-17 | Xopr | 56km | repeated his Achelse kluis tradition. |
| 2015-05-23 | Xopr | 75km | Went to Achel and Valkenswaard again without any hassle in an estimated 5 hours. Good position of the saddle is key. |
| 2016-05-15 | 0km | (cancelled) Pinknick edition. Trip was postponed due to weather conditions (13°C, 3-4bft NW, 65% @ 1.5mm, 40% sun) | |
| 2016-05-28 | Xopr | 47km | Went to Achel again to drink some trappist, and made the trip within 4 hours. Had to shorten the route due to unforeseen circumstances. |
| 2016-07-23 | Da Syntax Xopr | 69km | Finally, finished Hackers on a Bike! |
