A sunny, windy early morning ride in March, from the south of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
This is a very popular loop among bike clubs in Amsterdam, with a typically Dutch scenery.
The wind can make this loop very challenging, the headwind requires the same effort as climbing a mountain.
The cute Dutch towns, the mills, polders, dikes and ditches, the pastures and sheep make the ride still enjoyable. The loop includes classic sections like Amstel river, Rondehoep, and Waver. Again, no climbs included but still very challenging.
