The route
Beginning at Stansted, the route takes in the beautiful Essex countryside, many historic villages and the famous Guildhall. You'll have a real chance to get to know your fellow team members as you take the ferry from Harwich.
The second stretch is along the coastline to the fishing port of Scheveningen, Holland's top costal resort. After lunch you'll cycle through Kennemerduinen Nature Reserve.
The final part of the challenge leads to Amsterdam's Vondelpark, the city's main park, which was beautifully landscaped in the late nineteenth century. The team will enjoy a celebration meal in the evening to toast their success!
