A Long, Long Ride

This is what happens when you combine using your Garmin, maps on the road and just instinct to find your way around! A planned 5hour 150km ride turns into a 6:40min, 200+km! There was some fun riding in here, it was almost all on bike path or quiet mixed bike/car lanes, there were 2 ferry crossings (one about 100m and the other 500m) and then a 30km long man made dyke (complete with separate bike lane and an annoying head wind)

 

Some traditional Holland pictures notice the great bike lanes:
