* Climate info: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies,_damned_lies,_and_statistics Statistics] have pointed out that it is best to cycle in May or early June. (See [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klimaat_van_Nederland Klimaat van Nederland], [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klimaat_van_Belgi%C3%AB Klimaat van België], [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limburg_%28Nederland%29#Klimaat Klimaat van Maastricht] and [http://www.klimaatinfo.nl/nederland/limburg.htm Klimaatinfo.nl Limburg], all Dutch)

==== [[User:Xopr|Xopr]]  ====
 
 
 
did a test run the 6th of july (it was actually to receive the prize of a bet which I won: Achel Trappist № 5)<br> cycled 72 kilometer and found out that the limit of an untrained person will be about 60km a day, so best practice is to keep the complete tour under this amount.
 
 
 
==== [[User:Da Syntax|Da Syntax]]  ====
 
 
 
did a full run from Herkenbosch to Heerlen the 13th of july. '''Great success!''' (xopr guesses)<br>did another test run on the 14th of july. First together with Xopr Heerlen-Weert. After a couple of beers in Weert i continued my journey Weert-Herkenbosch. This comes to a total of +/- 80km that day. So i (syntax) guess it should be possible for a untrained person to cycle 80km in a day (maybe beer functions as a good motivator).
