The whole polder area between Leiderdorp, Alpen a/d Rijn and Zoeterwoude is beautiful. The trees are planted to keep the soil together. A pretty Dutch picture! Most of the roads are narrow, and you wont come across much traffic.

Elfenbaan Cycling Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

One of the very nice accesses to Leiden. There is some "climbing" to do to go over the bridge that crosses the A4 (the most unpleasant part)

March 15, 2025,Joop Zoetemelk Classic 2025

Yes, the Joop Zoetemelk Classic and Joop, as a former member of cycling club Swift, could not be absent in person of course. Joop, together with his wife, was present the entire day. Obliging with everyone who wanted to be photographed.
