unexpected problem with the date. A huge bicycle sport event,
originally planned for August in Riemst, has now been moved to
September 24, exactly the date that is foreseen for the 3-Monkey

looks inevitable that the date has to be changed to one week
earlier or later. More news to follow in this website.
