Day 20 - Ride to Amsterdam

More through the sand dunes

Today was our last ride of the tour and my last ride in Europe for this trip.  It was a great way to end the ride with a lovely tail wind and more riding through the amazing dunes.  Before we hit the official route we wandered into The Hague for a quick visit.  Once at our hotel by the airport the focus was on getting our bikes packed.  We have one day tomorrow to spend some time in Amsterdam.  As for tonight I am just taking it easy while Patti has gone on the town.

Today’s official ride. The part along the coast is all through the dunes.

The gang of 5 who bravely tackled the North Sea this morning. No Texans or Californians involved.

A lift bridge over a canal. We just made it before it was lifted to let boats through in both directions.
