Great little beach town surrounded by large dune preserves and flower fields. Close to Amsterdam but cute and quiet in the off-season. Good base for bike rides along the coast.

January 11, 2025,Egmond Pier Egmond 🪱🚴🏼‍♂️🙌🏻

Together with Erik Jager at the start of the world's largest beach race in our own cold (!!) frog country. 🥶

Little wind and a bit of frost in the ground made it a super fast edition. It went really great, especially the technical part in the dunes and jumping over the hay bales 🙌🏻
