Summer in Nederland 2007

This weekend, following our return from cycling in France (more on that later), Flo decided that she'd caught the cycling bug and purchased herself a new one more accustomed to long rides. We then got straight to it and, following a short 30 km warm up on Saturday late afternoon, we then went for a 50 km ride on Sunday to make the most of the terrific summer weather!

We started off in Den Haag and headed off to Wassenaar, but seemed to get detoured via Leiden. We then came back via Kijkduin and the route through the dunes back to Den Haag.


However, as you can see from the picture above, we weren't the only ones who had decided to get out and enjoy the weather... it seems that the remaining population of the country (the others being away on their holidays) had pretty much the same idea, with the rivers, lakes and canals chock-a-block with boats and the cycle and walk paths similarly congested.

But despite it being so busy, it was still good fun and great to be outdoors!
