In Damme: climbing a few hundred tightly spiralling stone steps up a tower (in clicking, slick bike shoes– fun…)

Friend convinced me to add one final 10km loop to Damme to go inside an old windmill

And I’m done. Netherlands and Belgium crossed by bike. Now meeting three friends I’ve known for 14 years, in Brugge. Bike adventures may resume next weekend.

50km left to Brugge, straight shot along a canal in beautiful weather. Let’s do it.

Just a quick on-the-bike-path bakery stop…

Fiery orange-red poppies

Pennyfarthing bicycle locked outside a strange tiny-garage-crammed-with-old-bikes bar in Gent yesterday.

Look at relative space used for bike vs. car parking (and this is just an arbitrary residential street outside the city center, in Gent)

I was going to roll through Gent but it drew me in.

This almost feels like a video game: bike through the mud directly under a large metal tank marked “flammable” suspended by an unmanned crane.
