The last day of the Road Cycling European Championships was in Drenthe today. The Elite Men's race started in Assen very close to where we live but we decided to ride out into the countryside to see them go by there instead and maybe ride a long for a bit with them.

This turned out to be impractical. It was difficult to tell when they'd arrive, and when they did so each group zoomed past at 50 km/h making it impossible to catch up from a standing start. There were also a lot of people around watching the race so we couldn't cycle at full speed on the cycle-paths.

But in any case it was a fun thing to do.
