Waiting for a train, circle tangent to line (Brussels)

Biking to De Haan on the North Sea, with FD

View from the tower in Damme. Then biked back to Brugge, and done.

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…

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.
