Some people go to a spa for it. Cucumber slice on the eyes and then in the mud bath. They return home as reborn and with a peach skin. That is slightly different for the 1800 participants in the Drenthe 200. Sure, they enjoy it too. But their 200-kilometer mud bath on the mountain bike is also especially hard; an ordeal. They see Drenthe in all its splendor all day long, but it is just that little bit more beautiful when it doesn’t rain all day.
