(Reuters) - A "headwind cycling race" in the Netherlands was cancelled on Thursday after Storm Ciaran's gale-force winds were deemed too strong for the riders.
The annual 8.5-kilometre-long race along the Oosterscheldekering storm surge barrier by the North Sea in Zeeland, takes place only if the wind force is at least 7 (High wind, moderate gale, near gale) on the Beaufort scale and is announced only days beforehand.
