I had an amazing time riding round Holland in September for 5 days, being based in Haarlem and Rotterdam, doing rides around these parts.
So now I have the chance to spend 8 full days in the Netherlands at the end of March. My first thought was to do the "Ronde van Nederland" which fits my aim of about 160km a day.
But then the hassle of arranging 8 different places to stay and the potentially unavoidable extended periods of adverse weather conditions of rain and headwinds made me reconsider, and rather pick a couple centres to be based in and then do 100-200km loops from there depending on conditions.
Anyone have any recommendations for which big towns east of Rotterdam/Amsterdam would be best for being based in? Or maybe even more north?
