This year's toughest event; bring sunblock and swimwear?

It's early November and with near to tropical temperatures our team is doing a recce for the toughest event of the year: The 100 Miles of Amsterdam. Should you bring bathing suits and sunblock on this 6th edition? Well, experience has learned to be very careful when the preplay is soft and warm.

Mind you, the Dutch winters can be unforgiving to those who start ill prepared. Something which cannot be said of the crowd of participating members of Benjafields (check our updated list of participants) nor this team of Rover first timers (car nr. 11, a 1938 Rover 14HP speed special) who were spotted on one of our foreseen roads last Saturday which was the warmest November day since more than a century!

Yet if you don't have the chance to do an early reconnaissance it may be helpful to study the smaller roads between Haarlem and Amsterdam on printed material. Or more modern means which are only allowed prior to the event. So indulge in all that before Sunday December 20 when the Going gets Tough.
