I did it once and it was good fun. Used semi slicks 26mm, no brakes and flatbars instead of track bars. Had a gear of about 43x18 but mind you it was all flat as a pancake seeing it was Holland. Loved the skidding round bends and that sort of stuff. You really have to work your bike and with the 165mm cranks the groundclearence was ok aswell.
It was an organised ride and bumped into a couple of my old trainingpals and 2 belgian professionals. They couldn't believe there eyes though.
