@dcro Almost influenced a competition this morning during my bike ride, unsurprisingly in the Ermelo area (it really isn't that close to Ermelo in reality, it's the outskirts of the town of Uddel where things happen)
I took a turn to go towards Staverden (smallest city in the Benelux, fun fact), saw a sign that traffic was being controlled a bit further up ahead and indeed, where the main road was crossed by a smaller road, and two guys with bright yellow bibs were keeping an eye on traffic there. Bike path was clear, so I had no reason to slow down, but suddenly saw a rider on a horse come up on the smaller road, with a bib (green bib, number 22), luckily I was just in time to stop (and receive a 'thank you' hand gesture from the guy)
A little further up ahead, there was a sign pointing people towards the 'FEI Endurance EC 2023', which I have now learned - as I assumed - means the European Championships. On FEI's website I see competition starts tomorrow, but I absolutely did not imagine the horse crossing the road Any idea what's going on today and, just out of curiousity, who the #22 guy might have been?
