Het Kopje van Bloemendaal
The most prestigious KOM near Amsterdam. It’s not tall, but out here, real climbs are rare. That’s why so many road cyclists love it. Perfect for punchy intervals or sharp efforts that light up the legs.
At the top, there’s a bright orange mailbox replica. That’s your finish line. Gerrie Knetemann, world champion in ’78, used to say—sprint all the way to the mailbox!
