Around the North Sea in 60 days - 5800 km (raising money for LRF).

The idea is to do another long distance fundraising bicycle this year trying to collect as much money for the Leukaemia Research Fund as possible. This time no return trip to Santiago de Compostela or Venice but a full trip around the North Sea. The North Sea Cycle Route is the world’s longest cycle route being just over 5800 km long, based on existing national, regional and local cycle routes, utilising existing signing. I do not consider this bicycle trip to be a race (although I am sure many people will probably disagree), but the total distance of 5800 km in combination with the available time of 8 weeks (my sincere thanks to my manager for allowing me the time off) forces me to be on the bike daily.
The journey will go from the middle of The Netherlands, through Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway where I will make the crossing from Bergen to Scotland following the East coast of England all the way down to Harwich for the final boat crossing back to The Netherlands. By cycling the route counter clockwise I hope to have some benefit from the crosswind in Denmark which is most of the time coming from the South-West (fingers crossed).
Anyone else doing the same trip or part of it this year? For details on how to contribute: http://www.justgiving.co.uk/jansmit
Please help, the LRF needs your money!
Cheers,
Jan
