After all the preparation, the time has finally come to get pedalling! The journey kicks off in The London 2012 Olympic Park, East London, where you’ll meet the rest of the group, the challenge leader and support team.

Day 2, Sat 23 Apr 2022

Hook of Holland to Amsterdam (approx. 49 miles/79km)

After a night on the ferry we will arrive at Hook of Holland at around 08:00hrs local time and roll down the ramp for a fantastic morning of cycling along the flat cycle paths of the Zeeland coast. After cutting inland and riding through more typically Dutch scenery we head into Amsterdam and our finish line at Dam Square in the heart of the nation's capital.

There’s time for a quick celebratory drink and the obligatory victory snaps at the finish line, before heading off to your hotel for the final celebratory dinner together. (B,L,D)
