The plan was to ride from Lelystad to Zurich, crossing along the way two of the Netherlands longest dikes, the Houtribdijk (30km) and the Afsluitdijk (32km). I did cross the Houtribdijk (my first time ever to ride into the sea without seeing the other side!), but when I got to the Afsluitdijk I found that the bike path along it had been closed for 7 years (and google maps didn't know).

So I took the free bus to the other side, nearly to where I was going to end my ride. But there was plenty of daytime left, and I still had a lot of power in my batteries and I decided to push on to the Eise Eisinge Planetarium, with a stopover at Harlingen (a lovely town!). Sorry, Roland. We said we'd bike to the planetarium together, but things happened as they happened. The planetarium was okay, but not amazing.

109km in perfect weather.
