Mark ChickHello Mastodon friends. After two weeks of cycle touring around the #Netherlands, let's see what I've missed on here now I'm back.
I will share some posts about the trip soon.
Here's the route of my recent two-week cycle tour of the Netherlands. 863 km over 12 riding days. In two places we stayed for two nights.
For what was a holiday, we felt the distance pushed what was a holiday, avoiding becoming a test. It was a great trip and we enjoyed seeing so much of the country.
The destinations each day were:
Hoek van Holland (start)
Alkmaar
Den Burg, Texel
Harlingen
Nes, Ameland
Paeaens-Moddergat
Groningen
Giethoorn
Zwolle
Deventer
Arnhem
Wijk bij Duurstede
Hoek van Holland (end)

Enjoying a taste of our trip as I wrote my earlier post. Frisian sugar bread.
Yes, it's as sweet as you might imagine 😂
This one is kind of #cycling related. When we travel by ferry to the Netherlands for a cycle tour, in our cabin we always check out the TV channel which shows the pets on board.
A few minutes of Pet Telly™️ is traditional. Not many pets on board this time. Usually there are lots. A bit disappointing.
On day 1 of our cycle tour we encountered some unexpected traffic on the fietspad through Zuid-Kennemerland National Park.
We decided it would be best to walk our bikes (and us!) slowly past.
