Cycling in Zwartewaterland

Filed under: Cycling,Netherlands — Tags: , — George Privon @ 11:11

I spent today working on my fitness and enjoying the countryside of the Netherlands! I left the guesthouse at 9:10 and started riding. 6 hours and 20 mins later (including time for sightseeing) I returned to the guest house, having covered about 90km. I took roughly this route.

My first stop was the town of Steenwijk. It’s a good sized town and seems very nicely laid out. Near the central church is a sizeable pedestrian zone. As it was Saturday, there was a large public market going on. I stopped into a photo store and replenished my stock of black and white film, as I’ve already shot 3 rolls in the last few weeks. The shopkeeper commented that he hadn’t sold any film in a while but I was the second person that day to buy film!
