Headwind Faces On 9 Feb 2020, the 6th edition of the Dutch national championship against the wind cycling took place on the Oosterscheldekering in Zeeland. Despite the fact that code orange had been announced due to the first storm named Ciara that ravaged our country, some 300 participants started. In the unofficial championship, the participants cycle 8.5 kilometers with a normal bicycle without gears and with a coaster brake. The organization will only allow the event to take place if there is at least wind force 7.
