20:00 - 21:30 Bicycle lighting control, team captain reporting and cyclist vest handout
Due to the center stage, the bicycle lighting control, team captain reporting and cyclist vest handout will take place at the same time at the Radboud Sport Centre. This will be between 20:00 and 21:30. The specific location is also indicated by signs. The team captain registration and the bicycle vest handout will take place in Sports Hall 1 (entrance climbing wall). The bicycle lighting check will take place at the front of the sports center.
The bicycle lighting check: since a large part of the race takes place at night, it is important that the lighting of your bike is in order. The check is mandatory and when the bicycle lighting is not in order you are required to purchase bicycle lights from the Batavierenrace. The amount of EUR 5, - will be deducted from the deposit. When your bike has been approved, you will receive a form with the details of your team, with which you can collect the cyclist vest.
Cyclist vest handout: once you have passed the bicycle lightning control, the signs and crew will show you where to pick up your cycling vest. To do this, you must hand in the form you received at the bike light check. Make sure the team data is correct!
Team captain registration: next to the cyclist vest distribution there is a table for the team leader registration. Here you can pick up a team leader's bag with all the important documents and the route booklet.

The team captain instruction starts at 22:00 in Sports Hall 1 at the Radboud Sports Centre in Nijmegen. Here the organization will tell the most important things about the race.
