Hello

[Joe24]

Hello from some place near Rotterdam.
On some campsite, its really warm here. Not bad for cycling, but they are crazy here. Not just the cyclists either Had some good fun going after cars on todays ride, nothing much more to do. The cycle lanes arent bad, but i go out the campsite and its cobbles, shakes the bike abit.
Some nice young women on bikes though
I'll try and put some pics up later, internet is free here
Bye for now

Look for the ones on 'backs'!

Glad you're enjoying yourself.

If you get the chance get yourself to Bergen op Zoom (just outside and south of Rotterdam; it has the best AND largest bike shop I've ever seen/been in! And cheap it is, too! It's called Hopmans.

Thanks for that Dayvo, i'll see if i can find it. I think we are going somewhere near there one time.
Temperature got up to 30 deg on the way here, we were at 18 in the car though
A few in-line skaters or whatever they are called about, a nice young blonde women was going along in full lycra when i was out

Enjoy the holiday Joe, it's a nice part of the country that you're in, for a little longer ride go to Vlissengen, it has good beaches, good bars and good restaurants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have fun but maybe you should take the weight off your wheels and take it easy for a few days

It'll be easier to chat the girls up if you are stationary, you can use the bike as a prop but don't go anywhere on it

Get your ass over to the Dam and fill your boots - you're only young once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Already been to Amsterdam last year. Walked through the red light district by accident, infact it was the second time, we never noticed the first time
The girls here i dont think are too impressed with the full lycra, went out in normal clothes, but most people are all grumpy. The girls all speek this foreign language.
Gonna see if i can find that bike shop Dayvo, or a bike shop somewhere. Must be one around here.
They are crazy here though, nearly got took off by a guy with 2 crates on his handlebars going around a blind courner. Good fun going after the mopeds though
Cheers

Gonna see if i can find that bike shop Dayvo

You won't regret it, I promise you! It's not expensive, but you might/will spend a LOT of money! I did. Twice! And a third time coming up in the autumn.

Have a great time Joe, I wish I could be with you as the hills round here are very steep. I could do with some flats to make a change.

Have you seen any Dutch style bikes with tribars on yet?
