28.06.25 Zandvoort-Scheveningen

 Second day of our three-day tour.


This is not quite 40km, so we didn't start before 10:30. Despite a great weather forecast some days ago, it was cloudy with a pretty strong southwest wind  but a good temperature. Indeed, our travel direction. 

We rode through is a really nice dune landscape, quite a bit up and down (for the Netherlands that is). But also quite open, a drawback on such a windy day.

Entering the province of Zuid-Holland

Very good bike lanes. And a lot of cyclists on a Saturday. Mostly racers and e-bikes. We don't do that. There was never anything wrong with using your body. On the contrary.

On the way, we passed two sea resorts, Noordwijk and Katwijk. I had hoped for a side trip to the beach, but it was not so tempting on a cloudy, windy day.

Arriving around three o'clock in Scheveningen, another traditional sea resort. And now the sky cleared and I could finish the day with the beach in the end (Anbjørg is not too keen on that).

39 km in 4:30 hours.
