Expedition

Today's hash was on the edge of a road at the southern end of Leiden. I actually had time to go there during the daytime, because my new employer considers Good Friday to be a holiday (it is not a national holiday; while schools and government offices are closed, the private sector generally keeps working). The exact location looked slightly tricky, right on the edge of a busy road. Nevertheless I got on my bike and rode through Delft, Rijswijk, Voorburg, Leidschendam and Voorschoten to reach the Voorschoterweg in Leiden. Because the road was rather busy (as it usually is), my strategy was to stand on the bike path and wait for a lull in traffic, then quickly scoot forward to grab the hash point and retreat to safety. This worked surprisingly well, and I managed to reach the point. Then I rode home again.
