  1. I am a 59 year old amputee wanting to ride the length of
    Holland and any advice on terrain and weather conditions
    around this time of year would be much appreciated. My
    amputation is the front of the left foot from shin line
    forward. I am now riding between 50 - 75 Km every second
    day.I have a hand made bike to suit me and do
    race(Unsuccessfully) in club races. All information
    gratefully recieved Thanks in advance Ro.

  2. Be prepared for rain at any time. Holland is a rather
    damp country.

    Winds generally from the South/Southwest and are
    pretty constant. Sometimes strong sometimes weak but
    always a factor.

    Holland is generally pretty flat and sandy. Except down near
    Maastrict (sp?) in the south where it is downright hilly.

    I cycle toured Holland and found it to be one of the most
    delightful tours I have ever undertaken.

    P.S. Learn a few basic phrases in Dutch. In the cities mast
    people are bi lingual in Dutch and English but in some
    of the outlying areas English is less common.

    Good luck and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
