Bike trip to Veenendaal (75km)
Saturday, January 5th, 2008Januari 1st, 2008,
I started off much later than I had planned, but that’s life.. new years eve is not really a day to go to bed early.
Around 13:30 o’clock I stepped on my bike, prepared as much as possible and checked my gear for the last time. It’s is a pretty cold day, around zero degree celsius and outside the city area even freezing a few degrees. I life in Lelystad, the capital of the province Flevoland, according to Wikipedia ‘the world’s largest artificial island’. Most the the province exists off flat farmer land, very very boring to make a big trip through, but it’s the only way to get to Veenendaal. While riding through Flevoland, it’s so misty that I can only see for about 200 meters and it looked like I took forever to get through. But after about 1,5 hour I was through it and drove in the province of Gelderland, into Harderwijk. (more…)
