Expedition

Today there was finally a hash within a one-hour bike ride from my home. The weather wasn't great, with drizzle in the early morning and rather strong winds. But the rain stopped around the time I had planned to leave, and as it turned out, I had those winds in my back as I rode towards the hash reaching it in about an hour. Once there I took the obligatory pictures, with my phone because somehow my camera's battery had become empty. I then turned around and rode back home, taking about one hour and ten minutes since I now had a strong headwind. This also meant that I was overtaken a few times by senior citizens on electrically-assisted bikes since they obviously have less of a problem with headwinds...

Near the centre of Bergschenhoek there was a detour due to roadworks. This sign tells you it will take an extra three minutes and burn another 30 kcal.

Quite near the hash there was this little hill with a watchtower.
The hash road. About 200 metres to go.
Made it.
