#Day60 I’m in Belgium!
Thorn (Netherlands) to Genk (Belgium) – 36km 20C Terrain: cycle paths and country roads Such a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky when I set off this morning.

#Day59 I found a windmill!
Venlo to Thorn – 36km 19C Terrain: cycle paths I found a windmill! Bit of a stereotype admittedly but I was beginning to think I wasn’t going to see one. Given I only have a few more kilometers in The Netherlands tomorrow it might be the only one but I’m now satisfied! […] Read More
