First post :P
My mate and I are doing London to Amsterdam in June. We have the route, ferries, trains and hotels sorted and are good to go. Well, just need to train for it is all.
I've searched the internet for info and have found a fair bit but what I'm struggling to find is what kind of gradients we can be expecting.
Anyone got any info on this? If someone has done a similar route and has GPS data that would be pretty swell.
Our route gives us 340 miles over 4 days:
Day 1 - 90 miles - London to Dunkirk
Day 2 - 112 miles - Dunkirk to Antwerp (stopping In Bruges)
Day 3 - 73 miles - Antwerp to Rotterdam
Day 4 - 65 miles - Rotterdam to Amsterdam (via The Hague)
Peace and love,

Miles are v approx as we may swing about depending on headwinds and nicer roads.
Agreed. There are no real hills around. However, the wind can be a bit of a problem, obviously depending on it's direction.
