After a bike ride, you naturally feel like eating and drinking. Something will be offered at all locations. What you can buy is a surprise; each location may decide for themselves. However, it is possible to refill your water bottle for free at every location. In addition, some villages along the way also have regular catering facilities. A list can be found in the program booklet.
Naturally, you can buy a new t-shirt this year. T-shirts are available at the start locations. If there are still t-shirts left, they will also be sold at the last concert.
During the SummerJazzFietsTour, you cycle through the Reitdiepdal and the Middagh-Humsterland. An ancient cultural landscape with terps (artificial dwelling mounds) where little has changed over the years. For more information, visit the Wierdenland Museum in Ezinge (wierdenland.nl), the website of the Stichting Oude Groninger Kerken (groningerkerken.nl), or the Groninger Landschap website or visitor center (groningerlandschap.nl).
