In this route you have to lift your bike, if that is too difficult you can also continue to Zuidlaren and then turn right onto Groningerstraat

Today a round around the Zuidlaardermeer with the touring bike. Only in the city of Groningen minimal amounts of rain, although it started raining a lot harder afterwards. Just in time inside :D
