Our 400 kms challenge will start at 9.00am from outside the EY London Bridge Office - 1 More London Pl, London SE1 2AF.

DAY 1 - London to Harwich (& Hook of Holland) | 129 kms | 762m Elevation | ROUTE

We’ll meet at More London and set off at 9.00 am. There will be snacks and drinks on hand. We will have a briefing and then a group photo before we set off for our journey to Amsterdam!

There are frequent stops, and the pace is gentle to allow us to get into the challenge. It won’t take too long for us to wind our way out of London and enter the nearby countryside, where we will reach our first stop after 23 miles. In the next section, our mid-morning ride will take us via the Essex and Suffolk villages, where we’ll stop for lunch.

After lunch, we’ll continue on our journey to Harwich, but it is less than 25 miles!

After cycling through some more stunning villages, we will take a break at Harwich Port, where we will have our evening meal, before boarding the 11.00 pm ferry to Hook of Holland and enjoy and have the opportunity to relax and no doubt reflect on the first day of cycling.

Day 2 is our longest day of cycling. We’ll start at 8.00 am, heading out of the Hook of Holland Ferry port, and along the coast, then inland before we eventually stop at the Kinderdijk.

Kinderdijk, a World Heritage site, is a village in the Netherlands, known for its iconic 18th-century windmills. We will have the opportunity to walk and cycle around the fantatsic windmills and refuel before our afternoon ride to Utrecht.

This final section will take us along the Dutch canals and canal paths to the beautiful town of Utrecht.

When we arrive at the hotel, we will have a chance to relax, enjoy an evening meal, and reflect on what, for some, will be the longest day of cycling they have completed.

DAY 3 - Utrecht to Amsterdam | 108 kms | 124m elevation | ROUTE

This is it, the last day, just a few more miles to complete the challenge. After breakfast, aim to set off by 8.00 am. There are It is once again completely flat.

As we cycle through the beautiful Dutch countryside, passing more canals, windmills, and rural areas, we will eventually stop for some great local snacks and coffee! After our stop, we pick up the cycle paths along the northern canals.

We will once again pass the traditional Dutch windmills and then stop for lunch at a beautiful lake, knowing that we are only 35 kms from the finish line. After lunch, Amsterdam will really be in our sights. The route will be a lot slower in places as we start to reach the city limits, again along the main canals.

We will ride the last section into the city as a group at a slower pace, before eventually going through the city park and arrive at EY Amsterdam to complete our epic cycle journey!

Do invite friends and family to join the finish line, just tell them to contact us to get 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.
