PERSONAL & LIABILITY INSURANCE
It’s important to have personal insurance for a trip like this. Even if you’ve already got travel insurance, check with your provider that the insurance you have covers you and your bike for a trip of this nature. You should also have a Health Insurance Card. If you have an existing GHIC, it will remain valid until the expiry date on the card. Once your current card expires, you'll need to apply for a new card. You can apply for a new card up to 6 months before your current card expires and can get one by clicking here.

BIKE EQUIPMENT
You’ll need to make sure that you have a bike that’s in good working order, a helmet, and the relevant cycling clothing. We suggest you use a road bike or a hybrid. We’ll also have plenty of water and energy stops – but do bring your own bottle (or two) for your bike too. It might also be worth investing in some padded shorts; they make a real difference!

Your additional kit will be carried by the support vehicles throughout the three days. Do contact us if you have any questions about your bike or kit list. We do not carry reserve bikes, so in the unfortunate circumstance that your bike is beyond repair, we can arrange a rental bike for you (additional costs apply) from the nearest bike rental shop. Though in our experience, most repairs can be done at the roadside.

PERSONAL ITEMS
You’ll also need all the usual things that you’d pack for a weekend away – toiletries, money, and, of course, your passport. Check you’ve got six months left on your passport, to be on the safe side. Entry requirements for travel to France can be found here.

DAY 1 - London to Harwich & Hook of Holland | 129km | 722m Elevation |

We’ll set off from London shortly after 9.00 am, just after the morning rush hour. As it is day 1, there are frequent stops and the pace is gentle to give us the opportunity to get into the challenge. It won’t take too long for us to wind our way out of London and enter the peace and quiet of the countryside.

The morning ride is varied, and we’ll be honest, it is, but this is the toughest section of the whole ride. After regular stops to recharge, we’ll stop at a lovely country pub for a really well-earned lunch.

After lunch, we will continue our journey to Harwich, but you’ll be pleased to hear, the route is varied.

Our snack stops will keep you going, and you will get a well-earned break, a hot meal, and be able to reflect on completing the hardest cycling day. We will board the overnight ferry to Hook of Holland at 10.00pm.

We arrive in Hook of Holland at 8.00am the following morning and will start the day 2 cycling journey.

DAY 2 - Hook of Holland to Utrecht, 160 km | 292m Elevation

You’ll be pleased to hear that the route on day 2 is very flat. Cycling starts around 9.00am along a beautiful coastal route. After a number of short stops, we will take a break from cycling for second breakfast.

After breakfast, we will be back on the road for a stretch to Delft & Rotterdam, which is where cross the Erasmus Bridge to Kinderdijk, which will be our Lunch stop.

After lunch we will cycle to Utrecht, again there will be plenty of snack stations along the beautiful canal route.

Upon arrival, you will have time to relax, freshen up, and reflect on day 2 and freshen up in your hotel rooms.

We will have dinner in the hotel and a chance to rest in this coastal resort so we can prepare for our ride to Amsterdam!

DAY 3 - Utrecht to Amsterdam | 108km | 145m Elevation

By now, your legs may be aching, and fatigue may be setting in, so we won’t get you out of bed too early. We’ll gather after a full breakfast and aim to set off by 9.00am. There are no hills to conquer on this leg, but some beautiful countryside views.

After a well-earned lunch stop, Amsterdam will soon be in our sights. Savor that triumphant feeling as you cycle towards the City Centre, where the fizz will be flowing. You’re welcome to invite friends and family to join the team cheering you safely into Amsterdam.

Do tell them to contact us to get further details and where to meet us. After the initial celebration, we’ll check into our hotel and head to a local restaurant for a celebratory meal. On the following day, we will return home, where you will be reunited with your bike.
