I'm cycling roughly 2,800 km from Amsterdam to Oslo with a chessboard.

Along the way, people can challenge me to a game. If they beat me, they get to alter my route.

On Saturday 19 September, Sunday Cycling Club is hosting the Amsterdam send-off: a social ride, chess, and a chance to join the beginning of the trip.

You don’t need to be a cyclist and you definitely don’t need to be a strong chess player. I’m around 1000 Elo, so this is a fairly realistic opportunity to send me somewhere you decide.

We’ll meet at Concourse, play some chess, hang out, and then whoever wants can join a ~45 km social ride around Amsterdam. Route coming soon.

Come play, come ride or just come say hi before I head north!

If you’re wondering why I’m doing this, how the route-changing mechanic works or what the whole project is about, you can read more here:

And if you’re on Strava, you can RSVP there as well: link to the event
