I’m on a biking holiday — first time I’ve done such a thing. Here’s a short summary of what’s happened so far:
Day 9: Zaltbommel – Eindhoven
Bike counter settings:
| begin: | 625km |
| end: | 681km |
| cumulative avg: | 19.17km/hr |
| route: | Hedel, Den Bosch, Vught, Best. |
I started off, and there were Ominous Dark Clouds in the sky. Aukje had checked though, and no rain nearby. So we set out (she and the kids accompanied me the first piece). It got darker and windier… oh boy! After I waved them off, I raced (well, counterwind, let’s say I did my best) to Den Bosch, hoping I’d find some shelter before the rain would find me. At restingplace De Lucht, I contemplated staying and waiting till it passed, but the clouds were a bit too far off. I’d had to wait an hour at least, I figured. So: on I went. After I crossed over the Maas, I felt relieved. The darkness was in Gelderland (a province) and it wasn’t setting foot in lovely Noord-Brabant! :)
Then happened what I expected the day before: I biked on rather relaxedly, and suddenly found myself almost at the place to be. With enough time to do some sightseeing/shopping — so that’s what I am about to do now :)
