Variation
A €2 discount applies at pre-registrations for members of a cycling federation, such as the Vlaamse Wielrijdersbond, Cycling Vlaanderen, NFTU, and so on. This discount is possible because insurance is already included in your federation's membership fee. We would kindly ask participants to fill in a valid membership number corresponding to their paid membership with a recognised cycling federation. This ensures that everyone is correctly insured and misunderstandings are avoided. Should it turn out on registration that the membership is not in order, we kindly ask you to pay the difference of €2 on the spot. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation to make everything run as smoothly as possible! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
