cheers guys!
the name easy 500 was because we intended to end up with a 25kph average, riding mostly slower than 30. we didn't. and indeed, most of the route was as flat as the pancakes we had before the night stage.
moderate headwind from Eindhoven > Rotterdam, wind in the back from Rotterdam > Renkum (just before heading North) was nice, no wind at all during the night, and a light headwind for the last part. very glad we missed all rain showers because they were pretty severe in places, I noticed when it was pouring down during the pancake stop... wrapped in a fleece blanket :-D
a great experience all in all, would do again.
