Martin Schuttert: &#8220;I rode this race with Stefan Vreugdenhil in 2014 and we were the first to return to Dokkum. It has always seemed nice to me to ride the Elfstedentocht through a winter landscape on a mountainbike. Unfortunately that did not work last Monday, because Ramses Bekkenk was unable to cross the Afsluitdijk due to the snow, but on Saturday we could still start &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MTB11stedentocht\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wOy-_26qeyA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With a temperature of eleven degrees below zero, we left Dokkum at eight o&#8217;clock, towards a beautiful rising sun. We rode most of the time on the road, but from Oudkerk we rode over the ice to Leeuwarden and also after Franeker and Bartlehiem we packed a piece of ice. Great to see Friesland in the snow and for us a nice training ride in this period without competition. In total our route was 218 kilometers and because of the better &#8220;moped work&#8221; of Ramses, we were back in Dokkum well within eight hours to join a bouncer with cheese at our sponsor Drowa! &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/mountainbiketeam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Garmiin-Route-liggend.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4947\" src=\"https:\/\/mountainbiketeam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Garmiin-Route-liggend.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"795\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mountainbiketeam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Garmiin-Route-liggend.jpg 795w, https:\/\/mountainbiketeam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Garmiin-Route-liggend-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mountainbiketeam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Garmiin-Route-liggend-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mountainbiketeam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Garmiin-Route-liggend-500x255.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 2012 to 2016 there was the mountain bike \u2018Elfstedentocht\u2019 as a race that took the riders in three stages over three days over more than 400 kilometers along the eleven Frisian cities.
