Klinkers Karren is the Meppeler version of the cycling classic Paris-Roubaix. The start is at brasserie OER on the Holtingerveld in Havelte. Participants can choose from two different routes, each with a different length: 70 or 120 kilometers. Organizer Wilfred Vogd explains that he has deliberately chosen to offer two routes. „A route of 120 kilometers is long, this often requires training and experience. By also offering a route of 70 kilometers, Klinkers Karren becomes accessible for less trained cyclists. They can also have a nice day, without the ride being too hard.”
