April 14

Just the evening I wanted to cycle for almost an hour.
Almost home I collided with a cyclist from the opposite direction.
On that spot of the accident cyclist's often cycle on the wrong side of the road, maybe because of the better pavement there. The other cyclist didn't do anything to avoid me (nor did I).
I now got a new wheel which has to be readjusted after 200 k.

Sunday ride

Today was really a test for what is coming. Next week Easter Sunday some members will go for the 180 kilometer.
So early in the season is new to me, that's why I want to try. And also I can use some kilometers.

Today it was a fine day with sunny spells, but a hard wind from the north west.
The club on which I ride on Sundays was big and a lot of them rode to fast in the first 10 kilometer going south east. That's why I told my self to go not to fast. After a short while I catched some riders and after 15 kilometer I made it to a gruppo who cycled as fast as I did. (38-40 kilometer/hour)
I stayed with them until the hills and then I went right, back to Utrecht (the others went left, for 20 k extra to Amerongen)

Wednesday, summertime

Only the third day of the start of summertime, but what a difference. The light!
We had a tour of 2.5 hours! At times we reached 50 k/hr. But overal it was a light flat tour to Soestdijk, through the forests over the flat roads back to Utrecht.
Unfortunately I catched a cold.
But I'm going to buy myself a new bike, Just for summertime vacation. It will be a customized bike from Snel, a known brand over here.

Gloves

Today I had a feeling that I must ride to keep up with last year's schedule. Not a good idea of course but okay I did it. I rode the same course as yesterday. But back in town I went straight instead turn left. It is 600 meters longer. Not the way to keep with last years schedule. One year ago I cycled 172 kilometers at the end of this day.
It was a lot colder than yesterday, appr. 0 degrees C. I rode with my ordinary gloves.

2nd tour

The Russian cold is certainly coming this way but we had very mild temperatures today so I can't complain about that. Maybe the drizzle and the wind after 3 kilometers was annoying. rode 15 with the wind in my back and then felt the fierce wind, no it was more a pressure which made it difficult to cycle. It was like the bike's wheels went through mud or something. It was a restistance which made the way home difficult.

THE START OF 2006

It was an unclouded sky but only, 0 degrees C.
I took my bike and checked the tyres if they were okay to ride.
The tyres needed some pressure but overall I thought an easy ride would be possible.
At 2.15 pm I rode against the cold light breeze along the canal to the south.
On my mind I had an 25 k/hr average.
20 minutes later I went up the dike on the north side of the river and went to a bridge cross the Lek.
15 minutes later I cycled through the historical centre of Vianen, really beautiful, and after a break on the south side of the dike I rode back the same way I came.

For the first time this year and after a break of nearly a month I like the ride without to much pressure on my mind.
