There, of course, there was ☕️ and 🍰 and

But from the beginning.
We started near Roermond at Plas Hatenboer. It was supposed to be ☀️ and 30 degrees today, so we had planned a 67 km long tour with a swim in Plas Hatenboer at the end.
First, we went over the bridge to

Today we scheduled the next test, this time distance and also altitude meters. To cut a long story short, this tour also went quite well, but I allowed myself plenty of support. 😉
But for the first time, I undertook a mountainous tour with my new bike, and the bike mastered this test with flying colors

The last day with good weather wanted to be used, so a bike tour to enjoy and as much heathland as possible should be included. So with temperatures up to 26 degrees and ☀️ we started at the Leukermeer in 🇳🇱.
Today I also tested something, I used Bosch Flow as navigation and did not record with Komoot
