The allsevens ride will start in Basle, Switzerland and travel up the Rhine to Frankfurt. The route then turns west, to cross the Hunsruck Mountains and reach the River Mosel .Crossing the river, it continues to Luxembourg and then turns north through the Ardennes to Liege, following one leg of the Liege Bastogne Liege classic route. Continuing north into and across The Netherlands, the heading finally turns west again to reach the North Sea at Leiden. Scheveningen follows and an overnight ferry to Harwich in southeast England, for the final miles into London in time for the Tour de France Grand Depart celebrations.
