We live in this area and know better than anyone how beautiful this area is and what the most beautiful places are.
We would like you to participate in this. We want to show you the Netherlands as you may know it from the booklets and brochures, but without visiting the most obvious places. You can always visit the big tourist spots, as everyone already does. We are convinced that if you really want to discover and experience the Netherlands, you have to get off the beaten track. We want to show you that. And we also want to give you the best culinary experience that North Holland has to offer. We are very passionate about this and we are only satisfied when you can go home with just as much enthusiasm.

The Dutch have a saying: "You aren't made of sugar, you won't melt in the rain!". And so, weather conditions don't really affect the number of cyclists in The Netherlands.
They simply get out their raincoat that keep them dry on the inside and keep on biking with a smile as usual.
As for us, we will bike on our Pedelecs, easy biking with no effort also in windy days.
What about cycling in the rain?
We actually cycle around 50 km per day, the average speed is 15 km per hour, the net time between 3 and 4 hours per day, that's all.
That means we always have enough time to take planned or spontaneous breaks indoors in case of heavy rain.
Every participant will have some gifts as a part of our unique vacation:
Lightweight sunglasses designed for occasional cyclists riding as the perfect protection from the wind and from the sun. High-durability poly carbonate transparent lenses with full UV protection.
A 2 part rain suit easy wear on top of the cloths in case of rain.
