Hoek of Holland - Ijmuiden - Heiloo - Enkhuizen - Ermelo - Woerden - Hoek of Holland
Total: 265 miles

Well I did it, all by myself and I'm chuffed with myself. Only started cycling 15 months ago.

Would I do it again? You bet, but organised a lot better.

Excellent! I love your knitted thing...;)

I've yet to do Holland, maybe next summer.

Nice one TP. Onward and upward. Enkhuizen is a nice place, isn't it?

Sure was, and the one time I left my camera back in the B&B. Loved just
sitting by one of the canals and just wtching the world and his dog going by.
Still cant get over the 50 miles of monoblocking cycle path. What's that all about? It must cost the Dutch Government €millions.

Yup - I was reading/looking at a Dutch newspaper when I was in Holland last October and they were going to spend €90M to improve the facilities in one town - Groningem - which as I recall are not bad already

No coincidence that when I was cycling through Germany during the elections that many of the candidates were leaning or pictured with their bicycles - plenty of political clout for that sort of thing in those countries

Thought I would relist my snaps as they seem to have vanished from my original post

I love the second one with the kintted thing (sorry, does it have a name?) in the corner. It's just so..... odd! But cheerful.


I have a cycling mascot buddy - Seamus the Tiger.

Here he is in hi-vis and helmet. He hasn't been out for a while, he's currrently wearing his tweeds and deerstalker...
