Doing a trip in April, cycling from Hoek van Holland and arriving for Koninginnedag would be awesome!
I cycled last March from Purmerend to Buitenveldert in Amsterdam on my fixed - it snowed and had a very strong and cold wind while on the dykes - I gained a whole lot of respect for my uncle who does it day in, day out.
And then I went cycling in the dunes of Vlieland (awesome island by the way) and got so much sand in the hubs and chain that I spent a day repairing the whole thing (the bike shops on the island are so helpful, friendly and have everything you need).
It was also neat to see a Batavus in Politie setup (ie: blue, white & orange). Was almost tempted to offer to trade bicycles...
