Day 2
Hook of Holland - Amsterdam - Rotterdam, 100 miles, flat
Welcome to what some may deem the "queen stage" of our journey! Brace yourself for a day that could either be a thrilling, swift ride or a challenging grind, all contingent on the whims of the wind. We'll traverse along the coastal routes, offering expansive views of canals, beaches, and iconic windmills. This stretch between Hoek van Holland and Amsterdam is a personal favorite of mine, and I'm eager to share the reasons why it holds a special place in my heart.
As we pedal our way, Holland's charm will unfold before us. Amsterdam's vibrant culture and the dynamic cityscape of Rotterdam will beckon us closer, promising an unforgettable encounter. Get ready to soak in the essence of these incredible destinations as we ride through their lively streets and embrace the unique energy each city exudes.
