Ronde van Nederlands

[ComedyPilot]

Oh well, nevermind. I'm there on Thursday morning, and get the ferry back a week on Saturday. In the meantime I have 10 days in the cycling mecca of the world.

Bonne route, as we don't say in Netherlands! May the winds be behind you!

Careful CP, this map compares the weather in different parts of the country. At the moment it's saying the best place to bike is North Holland/Wadden Islands. That doesn't mean it's good weather there, only that it's a bit better than the rest of the country.

www.buienradar.nl is useful for showing rainfall.

Yes, I then go on to look for specific towns, like Harlingen, Almere, Groningen etc for more detailed forecasts.

Fingers crossed, eh?

I did try it it Cathryn but I thought the pastry was a bit on the heavy side

 

[Cathryn]

Woos.

If you'd had more cream on it, it would have softened the pastry.

You've seen this figure - I didn't keep that six pack slurping double cream you know

 

[Cathryn]

Oh we've all seen the figure! The picture haunts my dreams!!

Yes, I think Rich prefers savoury snacks to sweet.

Calm down girls

CP, are you staying in hotels/B&Bs or camping? Have you got a list of possibilities or just hoping for divine providence?

I just filled Mr. ComedyPilot up with coffee and apple cake and sent him on his way up the coast. Poor guy hasn't gotten the best weather but at least it's not pouring rain.

Is he still smiling? I bet he is after apple cake! Met slagroom?
