We spent the day today on a family bike ride. You know it's the first bike ride of the season when you've forgotten where all the farm roads go and have to use church steeples and windmills to navigate. Actually, D is far more precise than that. We have a bike GPS (you knew we would). Today's path took us mostly through the Netherlands, over gloriously sunny farmroads and through a nature preserve. We did, however, have to bike *through* a herd of long haired cattle.
We've recently acquired a bike seat for B that hooks to the back of my bike. He joined C in the pull behind trailer behind Daddy's bike later in the trip, but when we encountered the cows, he was still in his open air seat hugging my back, and he screamed with absolutely delight. Turns out he makes a pretty good sheep dog, his squeals encouraging the cows to move along. That's D and C in the pic. See how the road is blocked by cows? B is on my bike behind me. We eventually ended up walking through the trees around the cow conference.
We biked all the way to Schinnen, just to see if we could -- 5 hours and 34 clicks. We stopped for tosti in Oirsbeek and eis in Schinveld; the kinder set even scored a nap enroute (once B joined C in the trailer)
