Departure Day

Here we are at the airport with the bikes all boxed up, our luggage and fresh shorter than usual hair cuts.   We had a pretty intense session with the folks at oversize baggage screening.  Lesson learned, don't pack your tools too tightly in your tool bag. It appears that a tightly packed tool bag looks like something completely different in the x-ray machine!

We will land in Amsterdam Thursday morning around 8:00am (CET).

Just a few notes on the navigation of the blog. If you are viewing the blog on a computer or tablet you will see to the right of this post the "SITE INDEX" which has information that is static and some will change.  

• The section "Home" will bring you to the daily posts we will make
• The section "The Route - Planned" outlines the route we intend to pedal and will remain mostly unchanged.
• The section "The Route - Pedalled" will change every day that we cycle.  
• The section "Trip Summary" will change every day indicating the mileage, location and accommodation.
• The section "The Equipment" will remain mostly unchanged starting March 28th.
