Three weeks from now we’ll be in the Netherlands. We’ll start cycling on May 13 with a ride from The Hague to Burgh-Haamstede in Zeeland, south of Rotterdam. It should be an easy and scenic day hopping from island to island in the southwest of the Netherlands. Easy unless there is a headwind. Or very easy if there is a tailwind. By the North Sea, you never know.
We were out for a ride today. Part of it was near the Vancouver airport, flat and near the ocean. A strong headwind on the way out to the sea and a fast ride back. A crosswind on the bridge back to the city. Good practice.
That’s an iPhone selfie of Inge at our destination today. Fluorescent green is our colour this year. We didn’t need new cycle clothing, but this colour is so visible. At times we’ll be cycling in poor weather and we want to be seen by drivers.
We’re looking forward to the trip.
Sounds like a walk in the park compared to some of your trips but a lovely, and very pleasant ride.
home again and getting the updates! love the travel colour for this year…. safety first! Can’t wait to follow your trip…..
To clarify: It wasn’t a selfie of just me. It was actually a selfie of the two of us, but Roy has the Photoshop powers!
It was a public service. I had a goofy grin.
The trip sounds wonderful, and I love your bright new cycling duds.
Mahalo for your plans. Sounds great.
Just came from a week in Laos and beginning 2 weeks in Myanmar. Had a delicious local lunch with many dishes for $2 USD today and at sunset saw the Shwedagon Pagoda with thousands of stupas glittering gold leaf in the waning light – magical. Looking forward to your cycling adventures. Safe travels. Aloha, Bill & Gretchen (Honolulu)
The countdown is on! You both must be so excited. I’m excited for you. Love your choice of travel colours.
