Thighs of Steel: London to Amsterdam
Event description
Join us for a week as we ride from London to Amsterdam!
This week is a cyclist’s dream, an absolute joy to ride and overflowing with ravishing scenery and historic sights. After flying through the gorgeous Kent countryside, we take a ferry to Dunkirk before gliding along the legendary cycle paths of Belgium and the Netherlands. And winding our way through no less than four countries means you’ll have the chance to sample the carby delights of four national cuisines!

We ride in small groups of 4-5 cyclists. It's totally non-competitive and we pride ourselves on being mega supportive to cyclists of all levels. There will be laughter and punctures and camping and carbs. People sometimes say it's the best week of their lives!
NOTE: This is a charity ride. You will be raising a minimum of £500 for some pretty awesome grassroots refugee organisations in the UK and Greece. Read more about why we ride on our Reason page.
