All races will take place at Sportpark Sloten, Sloterweg 1045, 1066 CD Amsterdam
This venue has two race tracks:
- Outdoor 2.5 km track with smooth asphalt, gentle curves and a 5.5 meter high climb.
- Indoor 200m wooden track, recently renovated. This is indicated in the program as 'velodrome'.
The program contains races for two types of participants: athletes and casual riders. Races with nothing indicated are for all.
Saturday 22 June
9:30 (latest 10:30) registration at ASC Olympia canteen (attached to velodrome).
Make sure your bike has a mirror in which you can see a person standing two meters behind your bike. Bikes must not have sharp/protruding objects, tube endings must be closed, chainrings must be covered.
11:30 45 minute race (athletes)
11:50 25 minute race (casual riders)
Points:
50% average speed
50% fastest lap speed
The numbers 1, 2 and 3 of these races get 2, 1, 0.5 bonus points, respectively.
All races in the afternoon take place in the velodrome. Your bike must be clean and dry, especially the tires. It is unsafe to use your brakes while on the track. You will be racing alone or in pairs, so there is no reason to slow down anyway. If you wish, you may use a special track bike (see 'prizes').

Heat 2: 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, etc.
Start at opposite sides of the velodrome, no need to overtake your opponent, just get close. Points:
Fastest lap speed in either first or second heat.
One bonus point for each winner of the pairwise pursuit.
Half bonus point if you don't participate in a heat due to odd/even number of participants

Prizes
We will award prizes for the overall ranking, not for individual races.
Casual riders/athletes are ranked separately, and within these groups we distinguish fully faired vs. not fully faired, male vs. female.
The overall ranking is based on a weighted sum of speed points plus bonus points.
Speed points are equal to the average speed and/or fastest lap in a race.
Bonus points can be obtained at the Elimination race and Commuter race:
3 for the winner, 1 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd.
And in the pairwise pursuit, each winner gets 1 bonus point.
All parts of the program must be performed in the same vehicle category. If you use multiple bikes, the category of the most streamlined bike counts.
Camping, Catering
Those who like to camp can stay at (to be announced). On Saturday we are having food at the camp site.
Registration
Registration is open. You can select whether you will race as an athlete/casual rider, but you can always change your mind upon arrival. The registration fee is 35 euros for athletes and 20 euros for casual riders.
