The plan:

• Week 2 starts 2014-09-06
• Week 2 runs Amsterdam - Luxembourg

A Dutch cycling website suggests we go:

de wegen naar het zuiden - deel 0 [amstelveen, woerden, schoonhoven, gorinchem, heusden, oirschot, veldhoven, valkenswaard, hamont, bree, lanklaar, elsloo, maastricht]

de groene weg naar de middellandse zee [martensvoeren, herve, verviers, spa, stoumont, werbomont, lierneux, houffalize, bastenaken, wiltz, ettelbruck, mersch, luxemburg]

This route is about 500km, so to be done in ~8 days we need to be averaging ~65km/day.
