Day 5 – Over the border to Holland! 

The days are starting to get easier for us as the terrain flattens; today we cycled over 90 miles with a jaunt around town. That brings us over 400 miles in 4 days! 

The heat rocketed back up today to 40 degrees and ended up shoving our heads under a tap in the pub to cool down; drying in minutes! 

We upped the average speed with the flat terrain and crossed the border into Holland with 50 miles on the clock by 11.30am. This meant we got a bit of an earlier finish and a chance to get off the saddle! 

Next stop Amsterdam….. Hopefully there won’t be as many pink balloons and rainbow flags!

    Amazing progress! I like the way you casually talk about covering 50 miles before 11.30am! Sounds like you are expecting flat Holland to be a doddle then, lads!!!!! Good luck with the last days of your challenge, and don’t worry….as you get nearer the UK, you will be leaving the heatwave behind, back to reality. Well done.

    Amazing journey and wonderful countryside . Enjoy the flat and motor on more easily. Don’t forget Amsterdam has more culture than window shopping. You’d enjoy the Van Gogh Museum If you had a spare couple of hours! Honestly 🌻 he maybe wasn’t as mad as you two!
