Day 2 - Rotterdam to Eindhoven

4 became 3 - we anxiously wait for Dom as he catches his ferry, train and rides his way to rendezvous in Holland. However, in true BRC spirit, Dom has enjoyed a bumpy solo jaunt to Spurn Point.

We had a slow start with diversions, and difficult routing, but once 15 miles from the ferry, we hit the amazing countryside that we anticipated.

Once trucking along the breathtaking cycling infrastructure in what became 36 degrees heat we all had to keep stopping for water, and shade.

Food was hard to find, so a pastry, and fruit was the option, with a coffee and cake shared with another Ukrainian cyclist in the bustling Tilburg.

Now in accommodation with bikes safely away, we're heading for a good meal and a good nights sleep after a ropey 3 hours on the ferry.

We're all looking forward to becoming 4 tomorrow, and making our way into Germany.
