In June of 2020, we were all set to do a bicycle tour of the Loire Valley to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, COVID hit and we had to cancel and reschedule for September of 2021 but COVID had made a strong resurgence and we rescheduled for September of 2022. I broke my collarbone at the beginning of August and we could not bicycle but did enjoy the Alsace and Burgundy regions of France (videos: • France ). We decided to skip the Loire Valley and try a ride in the bicycling mecca of the Netherlands. Since we had a sizable credit with Discover France we booked our trip through them and their partner Tulip Cycling.
Over five days of riding we went from Bruges Belgium to Leiden Netherlands enjoying the wonderful bicycling infrastructure and scenery of the Netherlands. So many canals, windmills, beautiful towns and countryside. Our fourth day of riding was a shorter day of 28 miles from Brielle to Delft. We took a short ferry ride across Rotterdam Harbor and rode up the Harbor to see the amazing Maeslantkering ("Maeslant barrier" in Dutch). Our ride was through the countryside past many greenhouses and along many canals. Of course, there were cute villages and cities along the way. When we arrived in Delft there was lots of bicycle traffic which made filming and navigating stressful. Again our GPS data did not send us to the right spot and we had to backtrack a quarter of a mile. A highlight of the day was parking our bikes at the Delft train station bicycle parking. Delft is a beautiful city to wander around and we enjoyed a wonderful late lunch and then dinner.
