Of course this is possible and hotelreservations can be adjusted.
Every participant is responsible for his own transport, but of course mutual agreements can be made: for instance renting a mini-bus with 5 cyclists.
Our Meetings-Manager Christiaan Weytmans made a detailed stage-schedule: ask him and he will mail it to you.
He will also produce a roadbook with addresses, time-schedule and meeting-places.
Registration is simple: write a mail to Christiaan Weytmans (christiaan.weytmans@home.nl) as soon as possible but before 1 februari 2020.
He will ask you to pay for the hotels in advance: € 100,- to be payed before 1 march 2020.
The costs for food, drinks, and transport have to be payed by the participants themselves. In Congas de Onis and in Alsasua there is opportunity to cook your own meal.
