*** THIS IS NOT AN LOC EVENT. The intent is to provide an opportunity for "like minded" LOC Members and their friends to travel as a group and enjoy an adventure AT YOUR OWN RISK.*** The plan is to tour Netherlands in September of 2026: A) South Tour of Holland, and/or B) North Tour - Wadden Sea. Both tours are conducted by Boat Bike Tours (see website: boatbiketours.com). PLEASE NOTE: All tours are "SELF-GUIDED" and are conducted by using a phone app with guidance instructions. Cycling routes are 45 to 60 km per day.
Also offered by John Damoiseaux is an opportunity to explore the south eastern part of Holland known as Limburg.
