The first 100 km of 2026. Apparently, I cycled a bit more efficiently than planned (102 km). After Weelde, I put away my toe covers, vest, and neck warmer. However, I quickly put the latter back on, it was still chilly! The route consists mainly of paved roads; only for a few sections around the Hoge

Today I was able to take pictures again; a ride in daylight and temperatures that allow gloves with short fingers. There aren't that many, it takes some getting used to. Glad it's spring!

Sorry, no pictures. I just had to get rid of that apple pie.

A bit of freewheeling today. A big advantage of this is that you'll see places you've never been before. Apparently, you can also cycle from Waalwijk, parallel to the canal, via forest paths to the Loonse and Drunense Dunes.
The last few kilometers were a stretch of black singletrack. Not very technical

Two weeks ago, I injured my knee, and it wasn't even during exercise. Walking and even cycling became a nuisance. Yesterday, my knee felt a bit better, so this morning I cycled around the Gat van Ham as a form of cycling therapy. That actually went better than expected. Now I just have to wait and see

When I left, it was rainy and chilly, so I'd put on a softshell jacket. However, after a good hour of cycling, it got too warm. Unlike last week, I forgot my vest today, so the zipper was a bit shorter than planned. Well, early autumn; the days start chilly, but gradually warm up.
Thanks to the closure

Dongen, Rijen, Oosterhout
De route begon met een redelijke mix van verharde en onverharde wegen. Van Rijen naar Dorst fietste ik echter voornamelijk door bossen. Vanaf het Pannenkoekenhuis in Dorst nam ik stukken singletrack in Dorst (zwart), Cadettenkamp (blauw) en Vrachelen (rood) op – alle drie beheerd door MTB Tracks Oosterhout!

Mooie gravelrit. De route begint overwegend over verharde wegen. Vanaf Gilze tot Bavel fietste ik vooral over onverharde wegen. En de bossen bij Vrachelen zijn uiteraard een mooie afsluiter. Op de terugweg was het net buiten Bavel opeens einde weg. Een pad was afgesloten wegens kwetsbare natuur. Een 100 meter…

Giersbergen
Rondje Giersbergen, technisch ging het naar wens, helaas hadden mijn benen vandaag wat minder zin. Tijdens de rit is het droog gebleven. De struiken langs de single tracks waren wel nat en de mouwen van mijn shirt waren dan ook in een mum van tijd doorweekt. Op de terugweg in…

The gravel bike is getting a new derailleur, so today a ride with the trekking bike. Despite the breeze, the weather was great for cycling. Cycling in shorts was fine, but I found it too cool for short sleeves. Arriving at the Kop van 't Land, the ferry had just left; I should have cycled a bit faster
