In the last weekend of March piet joined the Tour de Hollande cycling trip, organised by his cycling buddies. The plan was to cycle towards the north and ride the Frisian Eleven Cities tour, and then back to The Hague, in 4 days. This was Piet's first ever multi-day cycling trip, with an average daily distance of 160 km. They stayed in hotels, and the baggage was driven around by one of the kids.
In the end ten MAMIL's (middle aged men in lycra) joined, and by keeping the average speed under control, proper coffee and lunch stops, and special buttocks ointment Piet finished with relative ease. They were very lucky with the weather, it was sunny, with little wind. They cycled through all eleven Frisian cities, all with beautiful centres and canals. And the social and culinary aspects were also important.....
