Although I'm a bit single minded regarding cycling (at least I hear that sometimes), shorter tours are also nice. In the Netherlands, with my wife, Anbjørg. She thinks cycling in Norway is too hard (is IS hard), and several weeks on the bicycle is boring. You can't agree on everything in a marriage!
But a 3-day tour in the Netherlands works, so that's what we do together, like in 2022.
We started i Mijdrecht in the province Noord-Holland. We use the Dutch system of Knooppunten for planning, as explained in my blog from 8 May.
Mostly clouded, some headwind, 20 degrees.
Lunch in Kudelstaart, Westeinderplassen.

Continuing through villages and crossing canals.
 |
| Crossing the ring-channel around the Haarlemmermeer polder, a large lake that was finally drained in 1852 |
 |
| This area is well-known for greenhouses and flowers |
Apart from flowers, there is a lot of other agriculture.
 |
| Wheat field. And note the interesting high voltage line in the background 🙂 |
From here we continued to Zandvoort, a traditional sea resort, where we spent the night.

48km in 5 hours.
