Plans

Shevek planned to go hitchhiking and be there at 3pm, Eupeodes decided to go by bike and arrive at the same moment. It worked out differently.

Expedition

Eupeodes

Intended to leave at around 1pm so I would be there at 3pm and be back home before dinner. In the end I left at around 3:45 by recumbent bike. The ride started nice, bit up and down. Of course my speed dropped around Hoenderloo, it always does. After this I had some longe stretches down, speeds exceeded 40 km/h, it was chilly. Arrived at the hashpoint at 5:36pm. Took some pictures and set of to get back home. Since I was aiming for tron and I don't like driving the same way back anyways I took a different route. After some time it started to rain so I took shelter under a tree. Waited until the worst part passed and just at that moment the tree started to leak so I continued my way. When I was in Arnhem it was already around 8pm and I hadn't had diner yet, so got some pasta at Julia's at the central station. Now I could continue my way home and I arrived home with a bit over 100 km driven (40 to the hash, 60 the way back).

It turned out to be some advantage that Eupeodes knew the way quite well. His parents live only about one kilometer from the hash, so he knew the way to the hash. Although Eupeodes cycled/walked almost every part of the Kanaal, the hash appeared to be on one of those rare sections where he had never been yet.
