I signed up on Meet-up for several cycling groups. Today my second appointment (after last Saturday mini-meet-up to Uithoorn) was with a bigger group, "threatening" with a "bit of a challenging" ride from Rotterdam to Brielle.
We were a group of 9, most actually on racing bikes and thus quite intimidating when I first met them all at a station in Rotterdam. But also some others on touring bicycles.
The organizer had planned out a very nice path out to Brielle, and old city out in the delta in front of Rotterdam. Getting there we had to take two different ferries and cycle for kilometers and kilometers through nice Dutch landscape. One of the ferries was a "do-it-yourself" ferry on which we had a lot of fun. There wasn't a lot of time to take pictures, as we were riding on. But a lot of time to chat to the other riders.
We had lunch in Brielle on a central place and then rode around the outside of the old fortification and then back towards Rotterdam on a different path.
Back at home there is unfortunately no onsen waiting for me. So the bath tub will need do.
