This was just great. I’m really, really broken by now and in a bit of pain. It’s still quite an impression; the amount of people cheering at the side of the 240 kilometres long road, starting from, and back to Bolsward again. Our pink shirts seemed to inflame the crowds
It was quite a bit of work, but I’m very glad I’ve finished.
This day I cycled the the eleven cities tour with five friends, and almost 15,000 other people. Most of them looked professional or at least profound amateur -judging by their gear and outfit-. However, I’ve seen evidence that cycling on a tandem, or carrying a crate of beer on the back of your bike won’t stop you from getting to the finish.
I really like the Frisian backcountry. It’s flat, empty, but still displays a beautiful scenery and is filled with water. I hope I’ll be able to join the tour next year…
