Something else
In Holland there is a big possibility that there will be a new "elfstedentocht" (11 city tour). Holland is a real ice skating country and in 1909 there was the first tour through 11 cities in the northern part of Holland. Since 1909 there have only been 17 times that the race could continue, because of the thickness of the ice. In 1997 this was the last time and now it could happen again in 2012.
This is really big here so everyone is nervous and the ice gets controlled and cleared of snow every day lol.
Some facts:
- +- 20k people want to start
- 200km (124 mile) long
- +- 7 hour ride starting at 6am.
- expected 100 milllion euro in profits

Would be really awesome, because this is a historic event that just doesn't happen that often.
