About the Event

Next Friday, July 16, starting at 13:00 (1 PM) we gather at the entrance of the Maastunnel Bicycle tunnel (North side, Parkkade). We will cycle from the Maastunnel via the Eem-Waalhaven port area to RDM Innovation Dock at Heijplaat. We will return by Waterbus to the Erasmus Bridge, planned arrival time: 16:45. Next, beer and meatballs are served at De Ballentent.
