Dutch Detour
 


Tour Info

 

The Tour
 
Each participant can cycle the stages at his/her own pace. You can choose to cover the distance in a more or less relaxing way with exploring the local villages, photo stops at every chosen moment or a well deserved break in a cafe. Alternatively, you can try to cover the distance as fast you can.
 
We provide GPS-tracks, so that you can find the correct way through the tangle of roads in this heavy populated area of Europe.

 
Support Vehicles
 
The journey is supported by one vehicles. It brings the luggage, so you don't have to carry luggage on your bike. Next to that gives the vehicle support on the road and provides a lunch half way the stage.
 
Accommodation
 
You stay the whole journey in hotels. The night before the start in Amsterdam and after the finish in Maastricht you also stay in a hotel.

 
Food
 
The hotel provides breakfast and dinner during cycling stages.
We offer halfway a tasty lunch and we make sure that you can recover at the end of the stage with some refreshments. Next to that we provide fruit, energy drinks and energy bars.
 
We have 9 times dinner together at the hotel after the stage. The other 3 evenings on cycling days, and the two rest days you have the opportunity to explore and sample the local cuisine on your own.
 
Participants
 
The number of participants is limited due to organizational reasons. For people from all over the world it is possible to sign up for the tour. 

The tour is open for men and women with an age between 16 and 70. Everyone with a good health and passion for cycling can finish the journey in a normal way.  


 
Non-Cyclists
 
It is an option to join as non-cycling participant, which means that you can take a seat in one of the support vehicles. You make the same journey as the cycling participant, it's only not on the bike.

You can help the crew with shopping or prepare the lunch halfway; but first of all : you must enjoy the journey. We will not asked you to help. It's all up to yourself if you want to help. We prefer that all participants ( and especially the non-cyclists ) visit the local towns and villages where we stay.

The registration and Entry Fee is similar as for cyclists.
