Yesterday we rode from Bruges to Ghent; mileage total about 39 miles. Essentially the large group split into two, intermingling more often than expected. The riding styles and capabilities vary far more than the average age of the participants. A few riders, like our own ITP-Reader Barb, were blessed with bicycles whose brakes dragged making it very hard to pedal.
We rode through some beautiful countryside and busy streets, stopping once for lunch at a lovely little cafe at which I ate my pack lunch as well as ice cream and beer I bought from the cafe.
Today’s Destination: Sint Armands
Connections and I are going through a rough patch…
Wordle: three, my starter was SMOKE
Connections: fail, X > X > Blue > X > X
15 miles in, a lovely day.
Seeing lots of horses today, wondering if this is where Katherine bought her horse over here?
Hello from Dendermonde, Belgium! This is the decision point for short/long. Since I am now having my third beer, and have two scoops of ice cream, in addition to breakfast and lunch, I am going long.
I just realized that today is Saturday, so it’s not surprising that no one other than Barb commented. Hahaha
