• We set off on Saturday 12th July from York and head to Hull, some 60 miles away where our overnight ferry to Rotterdam awaits. Once there, we'll check-in, find our rooms, have a quick shower and get changed ready to go to the entertainment lounge and make fools of ourselves on the dancefloor.
  
  
• We'll wake up on Sunday morning to find ourselves in beautiful Holland, where cyclists are treated like gods and car drivers actually give way to you no matter what! We'll ride up through the countryside, stop for a quick lunch and a paddle in the lake at Valkenberg and then head onwards to Amsterdam where we'll stay in a fabulous hostel in the city centre so that the more curious of the riders can explore!
  
  
• Monday morning sees the start of one of the most scenic days of the entire trip as we head back to Rotterdam through the centre of Holland. You'll be amazed at the Windmills and canals as we pass through small towns and large cities before arriving back at the Ferry in time for our return journey. Once again, we'll get to boogie the night away, then collapse in a heap with a beer in one hand and a plastic windmill in the other before being gently rocked to sleep in our cabins!
  
  
• Tuesday morning and we're back in the Uk with an easy ride back to York and the finish line! We'll laugh at the people who swore that we wouldn't be able to make it and beam at the awaiting family members and friends! We'll make some amazing friends on this trip and you'll soon be asking if you can take part in Amsterslam2009!!!

The route is mainly traffic free - we'll trundle through countryside, amazing views and some fabulous towns and cities in Holland. This ride is suitable for riders of all levels. We'll only ride at the speed of the slowest rider so no-one will have anything to worry about!  We give helping hands when required and as much encouragement as we think is needed!
