Garderen to Zwolle the official finish. ✅
Nice hotel last night , good food and wine that while adequate would have big plate running for cover….
I need to introduce the Galibier Cyanometer today as the sun came out. Looks a bit like this only with the logo in the centre. I forgot mine which was unforgivable. Today certainly started at an 8 and factor 50 was required. Remained cold at times and this meant herself was in a constant state of wardrobe malfunction. 🙄
Once more struck by the awesome facilities here for cyclists. Even the small bit of road we were on today was a cycle road. Cars are guests and only one lane for them and two for cyclists
Mile upon mile of flawless surface… apart from the sandy bits which were a reminder that this area was probably sea shore at some point.
Sand sand sand. If it was wet it would be tragic.
The last bit won the Stephen Nolan “ f@@k you and yer ma award “ for excellence. ( check tic-tok for that reference. ….
First food at 40 km. Lovely apple tart.
Quite a few sheep today. They all had guardian dogs for the wolves. But Jan was dissatisfied we have not seen one mind you.
Nice run in to Zwolle , hundreds of bikes heading home from work/school , and the red carpet was out for us at hotel.
Road run to Schiphol tomorrow.
Can’t recommend route enough. Put it on your list of things to do before you know what.
