I'm not crazy.
Same jacket, same shoes, same skirt. Less baggage. Less rain. Same amount of wind.

Dam tot Dam Fietsclassic 2012, or, what a difference the weather makes!
Not despite, but perhaps, because of the horrible weather last year, I signed up again! No matter what happened, I knew it could not be as bad as 2011... but wore my trusty raincoat just in case.

You look really good!
ReplyDeleteNo such thing as bad weather, just a question of choosing the right clothes... ;-)
ReplyDeletejammer I must have missed you at the starting grid. The kona-sutra (giggle) looks resplendent.
ReplyDeletejust came across this work with a 4*5 camera, you might find it interesting:

Beautiful!!! thank you for the link. We really should get together sometime. :)
DeleteHey Alicia,
ReplyDeletethat looks like good fun.
Apparently you've been to every place in the Koninkrijk and now you're starting over.
Raincoat + sunglasses = cycle chic
You wore the same pair of shoes last time in the rain? At first I thought that would be unpleasant. But then I realized the ingenuity: those shoes can hardly hold any water. On two occasions I was cycling with my shoes brimmed with rain, a peculiar experience...
Also, the shoes match your handlebar tape - nice.
They are tight leather shoes, worn without socks (my feet do not get cold easily)- I condition the leather regularly with all my shoes so they tend to last a long time... just like my brooks saddles. It's a relaxing thing to do. :)
DeleteI wore canvas all-stars with socks last week in the rain and that was really unpleasant.
I have a few places left to go!
Any to suggest?
Yes, i like my shoes well kept and shiny too. But my plush saddle has no organic parts. Won't a leather saddle bleed dye when it gets wet? My father's does.
DeleteI don't know much about the Netherlands, one reason why i like this blog. So i don't have first hand suggestions. Still i do have some suggestions.
Have you seen the lowest place of NL? It seems there's an argument whether it's Prins-Alexander-Polder or Nieuwkerk a. d. Yssel. I say pour out a bucket of water and see which way the water runs, there's the easiest way.
Or you could visit the biggest tree in Middelburg:

or the Het Loo Paleis

or draw a numerical grid on a map and roll the dice.
