I've got a feeling this thing is new. If you have Strava, typing Venterskroon or something similar in the search bar at the top right of the website might yield results.

Yes, did it before. Did 3 events of the series in 2023. Won't go back even though it is on my doorstep. It is quite pricey for what is offered. The last event we rode didn't even have a water table at the finish line, no medal (not that a medal is the be all and end all, but it is nice for first timers), not even official timing. The Ottosdal Draf en Trap is also this same weekend, most riders will probably be in Ottosdal.

If you really want to ride the event I can send you routes for the 52km and 80km.

I've done some lovely gravel rides from that inn though. Don't know the race, but there's a lot of good gravel from there, and the inn is a good place for a cold beer.
