We recently cycled from Bruges, Belgium to Amsterdam. Extreme headwind, cold weather and rain, but it was a very nice ride. (go figure, eh?). We then flew to Budapest and took a river cruise back to Amsterdam, but that’s a different story.
The story here is in the photo captions.

Headwinds, cold, rain? Hang onto that smiling wife of yours, she’s a rare bird.
At least you had flat terrain and a comfy river cruise at the end.
Will look forward to notes on the second leg…

Looks like a great trip, despite the weather. And I agree, Belgian beer is awesome after a day in the saddle.

I agree, but I also know that you’ll drink any beer.
