our first cycling stage in holland will be a 38 mile (60 km) ride from bunnik to amsterdam. bunnik lies in the centre of the netherlands surrounded by rolling winding picturesque and fields of tulips. for part of the journey, we’ll be cycling alongside the ‘crooked rhine’ river. admittedly the bends will slow us down a bit, but in the later stages there are several long straights on which we’ll be able to make up time.
