Reccomendations for Amsterdam

Hi,

I will be in Amsterdam next weekend and the weather is suppossed to be sunny with a high of 48. If the weather holds (i.e. no rain), I'm riding.

First, I'm assuming there's a high-end shop where I can rent a decent bike - any suggestions? My pipe dream would be to get a nice carbon/campy set up but that my be a tall order.

Second, any suggestions on routes? About 60 miles would be preferred.

If I ride on Saturday, what are the chances of hooking onto a mini-peloton?

Thanks in advance.

I was on holiday in Amsterdam 5 weeks ago : there are literally dozens of bike shops in Amsterdam where you can hire a bike.
You will have no difficulty.

I'm not sure you will get a highend racing bike for hire - any European capital, with a cycling culture, that I have visited do not hire out high spec bikes.

Well, I don't need anything too fancy - something with ultegra and would work...anything like that available?
