Stage

one:

bunnik

to

amsterdam

 

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

woodland,

winding

rivers,

picturesque

houses

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.
