Hiya,

although I am originaly from Holland, I haven't cycled long distances a lot there.
I would advise the following: There is this great site called de Wereldfietser (which translates as World Cyclist) and they have a very good forum, with tonnes of regular visitors.
They would be happy to help you. Just go their website: www.wereldfietser.nl and click on forum (top left navigation), click on registreren (top right) and then Ik accepteer... (= I accept...).
You will then be asked several questions, BUT here is a button to change the languag to English !!!!
Good luck!
