Roll out of Abcoude on 65.1 km of paved road, climbing just 59 m along the way. First up is the fort Batterijen aan het Gein, then the Oostelijke Vechtplassen nature reserve and Fort Nieuwersluis. Castles Nijenrode and Oudaen follow before the Nieuwkoopse Plassen & De Haeck and Groene Jonker reserves. The Kromme Mijdrecht river leads you back to Abcoude.
