We went on a long ride (well, long for us non-cyclists) through the Dutch countryside. We stopped for a photo-op with the sheep. It also features the perfectly aligned trees that mark most of the fields I saw in France, Belgium, and Holland. - PICT0061
We were riding out to see a (humble, Dutch) castle, but it was closed. So we just stopped for a cola in a pretty little town. - lunch line
